Compared with the fibers of cotton plants growing today, what is the relative ratio radioactivity in the old material vs the rel

ative amount radioactivity in the new material? The half-life of 14C is 5730 y. (A0 = original radioactivity and At = current radioactivity).
For a quipu sample that is 4800 years old, we will calculate the ratio of 14C/12C in the sample.
At/A0 = ?

Answer:

0.56

Explanation:

From the formula;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (Ao/At)

t1/2 = half life of the C-14 = 5730 y

t = time elapsed = 4800 y

At = Activity of C-14 at time t

Ao= Activity of a living C-14 sample

0.693/5730 = 2.303/4800 log (Ao/At)

1.2 * 10^-4 = 4.8 * 10^-4 log (Ao/At)

log (Ao/At) = 1.2 * 10^-4/4.8 * 10^-4

log (Ao/At) = 0.25

Ao/At = Antilog (0.25)

Ao/At = 1.778

Hence;

At/Ao = (1.778)^-1

At/Ao = 0.56

CS2 (s) + 3 O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2 SO2 (g)
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

2.067 L ≅ 2.07 L.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation for the mentioned reaction is:

<em>CS₂(g) + 3O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g),</em>

It is clear that 1.0 mole of CS₂ react with 3.0 mole of O₂ to produce 1.0 mole of CO₂ and 2.0 moles of SO₂.

  • At STP, 3.6 L of H₂ reacts with (?? L) of oxygen gas:

It is known that at STP: every 1.0 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L.

<u><em>using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mol of O₂ represents → 22.4 L.

??? mol of O₂ represents → 3.1 L.

∴ 3.1 L of O₂ represents = (1.0 mol)(3.1 L)/(22.4 L) = 0.1384 mol.

  • To find the no. of moles of SO₂ produced from 3.1 liters (0.1384 mol) of hydrogen:

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

3.0 mol of O₂ produce → 2.0 mol of SO₂, from stichiometry.

0.1384 mol of O₂ produce → ??? mol of SO₂.

∴ The no. of moles of SO₂ = (2.0 mol)(0.1384 mol)/(3.0 mol) = 0.09227 mol.

  • Again, using cross multiplication:

1.0 mol of SO₂ represents → 22.4 L, at STP.

0.09227 mol of SO₂ represents → ??? L.

∴ The no. of liters of SO₂ will be produced = (0.09227 mol)(22.4 L)/(1.0 mol) = 2.067 L ≅ 2.07 L.

Calculate the molarity of a solution of Nach if it contains 7.2.g Nach in 100.0 mL of solution. andver: m Nach . .
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1.23 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a substance , is the number of moles present in a liter of solution .

M = n / V

M = molarity  

V = volume of solution in liter ,

n = moles of solute ,

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  

Hence ,  

n = w / m

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molecular mass .

From the question ,

w = given mass of NaCl = 7.2 g

As we know , the molecular mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Moles is calculated as -

n = w / m  =  7.2 g / 58.5 g/mol = 0.123 mol

Molarity is calculated as -

V = 100ml = 0.1 L            (since , 1 ml = 1/1000L )

M = n / V  =  0.123 mol / 0.1 L = 1.23 M

Why is our mindset more important when you try to learn remotely than when you are learning face to face?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

It is more important because of the freedom.

Explanation:

While at home you can do your work of course... but you could lay down, take a nap. You could get on the game, play around. You could draw, and fiddle and dance and do WHATEVER you want with no teacher to stop you so you have to be your own motivation. You have to be your own teacher or its VERY easy to fail.
