Why can't scientists simply use carbon-12 (12C) do determine

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

carbon-12 is not radioactive

Explanation:

The measurement of the age of dead carbon based life forms requires the use of a radioactive isotope hence it is often referred to as radiocarbon dating.

Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 occur together in living things.The half life of Carbon-14 is about 5670 years.

Hence, since Carbon-12 is not radioactive, it can not be used to measure the age of dead carbon based materials.

8090 [49]

Answer:

The information that can be used to determine which mixture has the higher proportion of KCl IS INFORMATION ABOUT THE MASS OF CHLORINE IN EACH MIXTURE, THIS INFORMATION CAN BE OBTAINED BY USING THE LAW OF DEFINITE PROPORTION.

Explanation:

The law of definite proportion states that the chemical composition by mass of a chemical compound is always constant. For instance, a chemical compound that is made up of two elements will always contain the same proportions of the constituent elements regardless of the quantity of chemical that was used.

Using the law of definite proportion, we can determine the proportion of sodium and chlorine in NaCl and the proportion of potassium and chlorine in KCl if the mass of chlorine that was used is known. Based on the results obtained, one can easily determine the mixtures that has higher proportion of KCl.

Can I please get help with this question ‍♂️?

Answer:

1.50 moles of POH or Potassium Hydroxide.

Explanation:

First of all, find the substance formula

The substance formula of Potassium Hydroxide is

KOH

Second of all, if you want to convert from grams to moles, you use molar mass of KOH

Third of all, find the molar mass of KOH.

K = 39.1 amu

O = 16.0 amu

H= 1.0 amu

Potassium has 1 atom, oxygen has 1 atom, and hydrogen has 1 atom.

So do this:

39.1(1) + 16.0(1) + 1.0(1) = 56.1

The molar mass of KOH is 56.1 g/mol.

Fourth of all, use dimensional analysis to show your work.

84.20 grams of KOH * 1 mol/56.1 g/mol

The moles will cancel out.

84.20 divided by 56.1 = 1.500892166

But I have to round my answer to two digits after the decimal points instead of using sig figs.

So I round to the hundredths place

1.500892166 = 1.50

So the final answer is 1.50 moles(don't forget the units) of POH.

Hope it helped!

How many liters of a 3 M NaOH stock solution would you need to make 552 mL of a 105 mM NaOH dilution
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

0.01932 L

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 105 mM to M</u>:

  • 105 mM / 1000 = 0.105 M

Next we <u>convert 552 mL to L</u>:

  • 552 mL / 1000 = 0.552 L

Then we use the following equation:

  • C₁V₁=C₂V₂

Where:

  • C₁ = 3 M
  • V₁ = ?
  • C₂ = 0.105 M
  • V₂ = 0.552 L

We<u> input the given data</u>:

  • 3 M * V₁ = 0.105 M * 0.552 L

And <u>solve for V₁</u>:

  • V₁ = 0.01932 L
