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.

In a particular experiment, 2.50-g samples of each reagent are reacted. The theoretical yield of lithium nitride is ________ g.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

4.18 g

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Given: For Li

Given mass = 2.50 g

Molar mass of Li  = 6.94 g/mol

<u>Moles of Li  = 2.50 g / 6.94 g/mol = 0.3602 moles</u>

Given: For N_2

Given mass = 2.50 g

Molar mass of N_2 = 28.02 g/mol

<u>Moles of N_2 = 2.50 g / 28.02 g/mol = 0.08924 moles</u>

According to the given reaction:

6Li+N_2\rightarrow 2Li_3N

6 moles of Li react with 1 mole of N_2

1 mole of Li react with 1/6 mole of N_2

0.3602 mole of Li react with \frac {1}{6}\times 0.3602 mole of N_2

Moles of N_2 that will react = 0.06 moles

Available moles of N_2 = 0.08924 moles

N_2 is in large excess. (0.08924 > 0.06)

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus,

Li is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

6 moles of Li gives 2 mole of Li_3N

1 mole of Li gives 2/6 mole of Li_3N

0.3602 mole of Li react with \frac {2}{6}\times 0.3602 mole of Li_3N

Moles of Li_3N = 0.12

Molar mass of Li_3N = 34.83 g/mol

Mass of Li_3N = Moles × Molar mass = 0.12 × 34.83 g = 4.18 g

<u>Theoretical yield = 4.18 g</u>

The following data is given to find the formula of a Hydrate:
umka21 [38]

The masses can be found by substractions:

  • Mass of CaSO₄.H2O (hydrate):

16.05 g - 13.56 g = 2.49 g

  • Mass of CaSO₄ anhydrate:

15.07 g - 13.56 g = 1.51 g

  • The mass of water is equal to the difference between the mass of the hydrate and the mass of the anhydrate:

2.49 g - 1.51 g = 0.98 g

  • The percent of water is found by the formula:

massWater ÷ massHydrate * 100%

0.98 g ÷ 2.49 g * 100% = 39.36%

  • The mole of water is calculated using water's molecular weight (18g/mol):

0.98 g ÷ 18 g/mol = 0.054 mol water

  • A similar procedure is made for the mole of salt (CaSO₄ = 136.14 g/mol)

1.51 g ÷ 136.14 g/mol = 0.011 mol CaSO₄

  • The ratio of mole of water to mole of anhydrate is:

0.054 mol water / 0.011 mol CaSO₄ = 0.49

In other words the molecular formula for the hydrate salt is CaSO₄·0.5H₂O
