Answer:

91.16% has decayed & 8.84% remains

Explanation:

A = A₀e⁻ᵏᵗ => ln(A/A₀) = ln(e⁻ᵏᵗ) => lnA - lnA₀ = -kt => lnA = lnA₀ - kt

Rate Constant (k) = 0.693/half-life = 0.693/10³yrs = 6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹

Time (t) = 1000yrs  

A = fraction of nuclide remaining after 1000yrs

A₀ = original amount of nuclide = 1.00 (= 100%)  

lnA = lnA₀ - kt

lnA = ln(1) – (6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹)(3500yrs) = -2.426

A = eˉ²∙⁴²⁶ = 0.0884 = fraction of nuclide remaining after 3500 years

Amount of nuclide decayed = 1 – 0.0884 = 0.9116 or 91.16% has decayed.

How many moles of atoms are in 9.00 g of 13c?
Blababa [14]
<span>The atomic weight of 13C should be pretty close to 13.0. (If you have the exact mass, use it in the problem.) So, 9.00 g / 13.0 g/mol = 0.692 moles Therefore, the answer should be 0.692 moles are in 9.00 g of 13C.</span>

At STP, fluorine is a gas and iodine is a solid. This observation can be explained by the fact that fluorine has
motikmotik
<span>The answer is 4. The molecules of each material entice each other over dispersion (London) intermolecular forces. Whether a substance is a solid, liquid, or gas hinge on the stability between the kinetic energies of the molecules and their intermolecular magnetisms. In fluorine, the electrons are firmly apprehended to the nuclei. The electrons have slight accidental to stroll to one side of the molecule, so the London dispersion powers are comparatively weak. As we go from fluorine to iodine, the electrons are far from the nuclei so the electron exhausts can more effortlessly misrepresent. The London dispersion forces developed to be increasingly stronger.</span>
