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.

How many joules of heat are required to heat 110 g of aluminum from 52.0 oC to 91.5 oC?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

We need 3910.5 joules of energy

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 110 grams

Initial temperature = 52.0 °C

Final temperature = 91.5 °C

Specific heat of aluminium = 0.900 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate energy required

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒with Q = the energy required = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with m = the mass of aluminium = 110 grams

⇒with c = the specific heat of aluminium = 0.900 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT = the change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 91.5 °C - 52.0 °C = 39.5 °C

Q = 110 grams * 0.900 J/g°C * 39.5

Q = 3910.5 J

We need 3910.5 joules of energy

What is the molarity of a solution of 4.50 g
Andrews [41]

Answer:

M = 0.23 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Molarity of solution = ?

Mass of NH₄Br = 4.50 g

Volume of solution = 213 mL (213 mL× 1L /1000 mL = 0.213 L)

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Number of moles of NH₄Br:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.50 g / 97.94 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

Molarity:

M = 0.05 mol/ 0.213 L

M = 0.23 M

A sample of 0.200 moles of nitrogen occupies 0.400 L. Under the same conditions, what number of moles occupies 1.200 L
IRISSAK [1]

The number of mole of nitrogen that occupies 1.2 L under the same condition is 0.6 mole

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Initial mole (n₁) = 0.2 mole
  • Initial volume (V₁) = 0.4 L
  • Final volume (V₂) = 1.2 L
  • Final mole (n₂) =?

<h3>How to determine the final mole </h3>

The final mole can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as illustrated below:

PV = nRT

Divide both side n

PV / n = RT

Divide both side by P

V / n = RT / P

RT / P = constant

V / n = constant

Thus,

V₁ / n₁ = V₂ / n₂

0.4 / 0.2 = 1.2 / n₂

2 = 1.2 / n₂

Cross multiply

2 × n₂ = 1.2

Divide both side by 2

n₂ = 1.2 / 2

n₂ = 0.6 mole
