Answer:

The correct answer is - 9935 years approximately.

Explanation:

Let z be the age in years to be found:

(15300 disintegrations) x (1.0 g / 0.250 g) / (1.84×10^4 disintegrations)

= 3.3260

half life of carbon = (1/2)^(z/5730 yr)

Solve for z

3.3260 = (1/2)^(z/5730)

Take the log of both sides:

log 3.3260  = (z/5730) log (1/2)

log 3.3260 / log (1/2) = z/5730

z = 5730 log 3.3260 / log (1/2)

= 1.73378816*5730

= 9935 years approximately.

Which must be the same when comparing 1 mol of oxygen, O2, with 1 mol of carbon monoxide has, CO?
Sloan [31]
Answer: 1 mol of oxygen, O₂, and 1 mol of CO will have the same number of molecules, and the same number of atoms.

Justification:


Althought the question is too open, other answers may arise, the most remarkable similarity between the two compounds is that both are diatomic.

That means that both molecules oxygen, O₂, and carbon monoxide, CO have two atoms.

So, 1 mol of oxygen, O₂, and 1 mol of CO will have the same number of molecules, and the same number of atoms.


You must remember that 1 mol means a specific number. It is Avogadro's number, which is 6.022 × 10 ²³.

So 1 mol of CO and 1 mol of O₂ are the same number of representative particles: 6.022 ×10²³ molecules eac, and two times that number of atoms each (since each molecule has two atoms).
