Answer:

17188 years

Explanation:

Recall the formula;

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

t1/2 = half life of 14C

No = initial activity of 14C

N = activity of 14C at time t

t = age of the sample

Substituting values

0.693/5730= 2.303/t log(160/ 20)

1.21 * 10^-4= 2.0798/t

t = 2.0798/1.21 * 10^-4

t = 17188 years

Consider the reaction. 2c(s,graphite) h2= c2h2(g) Based on the equation and the information in the table, what is the enthalpy o
xxTIMURxx [149]
<h3>The enthalpy of the reaction : C.226.73 kJ</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Delta H reaction (ΔH) is the amount of heat change between the system and its environment

(ΔH) can be positive (endothermic = requires heat) or negative (exothermic = releasing heat)

The change in enthalpy in the formation of 1 mole of the elements is called enthalpy of formation

Delta H reaction (ΔH) is the difference between product enthalpy and reactant enthalpy (Hp-Hr)

Reaction :

2C + H2 -> C2H2

(ΔH) reaction = (ΔH) product - (ΔH) reactants

(ΔH) reaction = (ΔH) C2H2 - ((ΔH) C + (ΔH) H2)

for free element (ΔH) it has zero value, so (ΔH) C and (ΔH) H2 have zero value

From the available data: Hf (kJ / mol) C2 H2 (g)=  226.73

then

(ΔH) reaction = ΔH) C2H2 - ((ΔH) C + (ΔH) H2)

(ΔH) reaction = 226.73 - (0 + 0)

(ΔH) reaction = 226.73 (answer C)

How much of the original amount of an isotope is present after a period of four half lives
vfiekz [6]

After 2 half-lives there will be 25% (1/4th) of the original isotope, and 75% (3/4 th) of the decay product

<h3>What is Half life period ?</h3>

A half life is a measurement of the slope of an exponential decay function.

It is also defined as, the time it takes to halve the concentration of something in a process.

Each half life you will have half of what you had at the beginning of a given half life.

Answer:

0.72 mole of oxygen would produce 320.4 kJ of heat.

Explanation:

CH₄ (g) + 2O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (ℓ) + 890kJ

According to the equation,

2 moles of O₂ produces 890 kJ of heat

So, 0.72 moles of O₂ will produce:

Therefore, 0.72 moles of oxygen would produce 320.4 kJ of heat.
