The amount of radioactive carbon-14 in a sample is measured using a Geiger counter, which records each disintegration of an atom

. Living tissue disintegrates at a rate of about 13.5 atoms per minute per gram of carbon. In 1977 a charcoal fragment found at Stonehenge, England, recorded 8.2 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. Assuming that the half-life of carbon14 is 5730 years and that the charcoal was formed during the building of the site, estimate the date when Stonehenge was built

Answer:

4121 years

Explanation:

From;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log No/N

t1/2= half life of the carbon-14

No= count rate of the living tissue

N= count rate of the sample

t = age of the sample

0.693/5730 =2.303/t log (13.5/8.2)

1.21 * 10^-4 = 2.303/t * 0.2165

1.21 * 10^-4 = 0.4986/t

t = 0.4986/1.21 * 10^-4

t = 4121 years

The combustion of acetylene gas is represented by this equation: 2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Approximately 2.46\; \rm mol.

Explanation:

Make use of the molar mass data (M({\rm C_2H_2}) = 26.04\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}) to calculate the number of moles of molecules in that 64.0\; \rm g of \rm C_2H_2:

\begin{aligned}n({\rm C_2H_2}) &= \frac{m({\rm C_2H_2})}{M} \\ &= \frac{64.0\; \rm g}{26.04\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}}\approx 2.46\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

Make sure that the equation for this reaction is balanced.

Coefficient of \rm C_2H_2 in this equation: 2.

Coefficient of \rm H_2O in this equation: 2.

In other words, for every two moles of \rm C_2H_2 that this reaction consumes, two moles of \rm H_2O would be produced.

Equivalently, for every mole of \rm C_2H_2 that this reaction consumes, one mole of \rm H_2O would be produced.

Hence the ratio: \displaystyle \frac{n({\rm H_2O})}{n({\rm C_2H_2})} = \frac{2}{2} = 1.

Apply this ratio to find the number of moles of \rm H_2O that this reaction would have produced:

\begin{aligned}n({\rm H_2O}) &= n({\rm C_2H_2}) \cdot \frac{n({\rm H_2O})}{n({\rm C_2H_2})} \\ &\approx 2.46\; \rm mol \times 1 = 2.46\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

How much sodium bicarbonate to raise alkalinity in pool.
almond37 [142]

Answer:

A rule of thumb is that 1.5 lbs. of baking soda per 10,000 gallons of water will raise alkalinity by about 10 ppm. If your pool's pH is tested below 7.2, add 3-4 pounds of baking soda. If you're new to adding pool chemicals, start by adding only one-half or three-fourths of the recommended amount.

LiOH+HBr---> LiBr +h20 If you start with 10.0 grams of lithium hydroxide, how many grams of lithium bromide will be produced?
kicyunya [14]
<span>LiOH+HBr---> LiBr +h20. Moles of LiOH = 10/24 = 0.41moles. According to stoichiometry, moles of LiOH = moles of LiBr = 0.41moles. Therefore mass of LiBr =moles of LiBr x molecular weight of LiBr = o.41 x 87 = 35.67g. Hope it helps </span>
