Equal amounts of methylene blue (319.85 g/mol) and potassium permanganate (158.034 g/mol) dyes were added to identical agar plat

es and allowed to diffuse. After 24 hours, the halo was measured to see how far the dyes had moved. Based on this information, which dye do you think will diffuse faster through the agar, and why?

Answer:

Potassium permanganate.

Explanation:

Both substances are dyes, but the methylene blue has a bigger molecular mass (319.85 g/mol), that means that the particles are bigger in comparison with the potassium permanganate that has a molecular mass of 158.034 g/mol.

Since the molar mass is the half in the case of potassium permanganate, it can be considered that the particle size is the half in size. In the agar, a smaller particle will present less resistance to flow, that means that it going to move faster.

A fossilized leaf contains 24% of its normal amount of carbon 14. how old is the fossil (to the nearest year)? use 5600 years as
sergij07 [2.7K]
The Half life is the time taken for a radioisotope or a radioactive substance to decay by half its original amount. The half life of carbon 14 is 5600 years. 
Original mass is 100%
Remaining amount is 24% 
Therefore; 0.24 = 1 × (1/2)^n
                     n = log 0.24/log 0.5
                        = 2.06
therefore, the age of the fossil is 5600×2.06
 = 11529.8 
 ≈ 11529 years

The four elements that make up about 96% of body matter are ________.
AveGali [126]

An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated or divided into simpler substances by any method (physical or chemical). The four common elements in all the living organisms are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen.

Thus, the four elements that make up about 96 % of body matter are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen (c).
