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.

The solubility of two slightly soluble salts of M^2+ , MA and MZ_2, are the same, 4 x 10^â4 mol/L.
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

a) MZ₂

b) They have the same concentration

c) 4x10⁻⁴ mol/L

Explanation:

a) The solubility (S) is the concentration of the salt that will be dissociated and form the ions in the solution, the solubility product constant (Kps) is the multiplication of the concentration of the ions elevated at their coefficients. The concentration of the ions depends on the stoichiometry and will be equivalent to S.

The salts solubilization reactions and their Kps values are:

MA(s) ⇄ M⁺²(aq) + A⁻²(aq) Kps = S*S = S²

MZ₂(aq) ⇄ M⁺²(aq) + 2Z⁻(aq) Kps = S*S² = S³

Thus, the Kps of MZ₂ has a larger value.

b) A saturated solution is a solution that has the maximum amount of salt dissolved, so, the concentration dissolved is solubility. As we can notice from the reactions, the concentration of M⁺² is the same for both salts.

c) The equilibrium will be not modified because the salts have the same solubility. So, let's suppose that the volume of each one is 1 L, so the number of moles of the cation in each one is 4x10⁻⁴ mol. The total number of moles is 8x10⁻⁴ mol, and the concentration is:

8x10⁻⁴ mol/2 L = 4x10⁻⁴ mol/L.

Alina [70]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass; the total mass of reactants on the left hand side of the reaction equation is equal to the total mass of products on the right hand side of the reaction equation.

Hence, the total mass of each atom on either side of the reaction equation should be exactly the same.

Since there are two atoms of oxygen on the reactants side, the total mass of oxygen = 16 amu * 2 = 32 amu

Since there are two oxygen atoms on the products side, total mass of oxygen = 16 amu * 2 = 32 amu
