Studying the decay of radioactive isotopes in dead organisms helps scientists to identify fossilized remains. The ratio of C-12

to C-14 in the atmosphere is 1 x 1012. The table shows this ratio inside the body of three organisms.
C12/C14 Ratio
Organism C12/C14 Ratio
X 8 x 1012
Y 2 x 1012
Z 1 x 1012


What can most likely be concluded from the above information?
Only Organism Z is alive, and Organism X has been dead longer than Organism Y.
Only Organism Z is alive, and Organism Y has been dead longer than Organism X.
Only Organism X is alive, and Organism Y has been dead longer than Organism Z.

Answer:

Only Organism Z is alive, and Organism X has been dead longer than Organism Y.

Explanation:

After the death of an organism, there is radioactive disintegration of C-14 allotrope of carbon, which increases the ratio of C-12 to C-14 in a dead organism as compared to a living organism.

Match the salt with the acid and base used to form it in a neutralizing reaction. K2SO4
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

KOH and H₂SO₄

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction:

It is the reaction in which acid and base react with each other and produce salt and water.

For example:

2KOH + H₂SO₄  →   K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

1. Potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid react to produce potassium sulfate salt and water.

2. Potassium hydroxide and phosphoric acid react to produce potassium phosphate and water.

H₃PO₄  + 3KOH  → K₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

3. Phosphoric acid sodium hydroxide react to produce sodium phosphate and water.

H₃PO₄  + 3NaOH   → Na₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

How many atoms are present in 7.50 mol of chlorine atoms? _
vodomira [7]

Answer:

4.52 x 10²⁴ atoms Cl

Explanation:

A mole is a name that means a certain number like a dozen means 12. 1 mole of chlorine atoms is 6.022 x 10²³ chlorine atoms. The unit conversion is 6.022 x 10²³/mol.

7.50molCl*\frac{6.022 x 10^{23} atomsCl}{1molCl} = 4.5165*10^{24} atomsCl

Round to 4.52 x 10²⁴ atoms Cl for the correct number significant figures.

Identify 5 things that would happen if there is not electricity.
Brilliant_brown [7]

If the power is out long enough even the city folks will run out of water. Many homes are all electric, so as soon at the lights are out they have no heat, no hot water and they can't cook. ... If the power is out, gas stations can't pump gas. Once generators run out of gas, those people will be in the dark too.

Zoe is frying eggs in a pan. The eggs cook because of _____ of heat. Zoe feels hot as she stands near the stove mostly because o
erica [24]

Answer:

1) conduction

2) Radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is a mode of heat transfer by which heat energy is transferred through a material, the average position of the particles of the material remaining the same.

Radiation is a process of heat transfer by which heat is transferred from a hotter to a cooler point without any intervening medium.

The pan used to fry the egg is a conductor of heat hence heat can pass through it by conduction thereby enabling the eggs to cook.

Heat can travel without an intervening medium hence Zoe feels hot near the stove. This ability of the heat to travel without an intervening medium is called radiation.
