NEED HELP ASAP! What makes Carbon-14 so useful in “carbon dating” or “radiodating”?

Chemistry
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Because carbon-14 decays at this constant rate, an estimate of the date at which an organism died can be made by measuring the amount of its residual radiocarbon. ... The carbon-14 method was developed by the American physicist Willard F. Libby about 1946.

50cm3 of 1 mol/dm3 HCl at 30°C was mixed with 50cm3 of 1mol/dm3 NaOH at 30°C in a styrofoam calorimeter. The temperature of the
trapecia [35]

Answer:

-21 kJ·mol⁻¹  

Explanation:

Data:

                    H₃O⁺ +  OH⁻ ⟶ 2H₂O

       V/mL:    50         50  

c/mol·dm⁻³:   1.0         1.0

     

ΔT = 4.5 °C  

       C = 4.184 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹

C_cal = 50 J·°C⁻¹

Calculations:

(a) Moles of acid

\text{Moles of acid} = \text{0.050 dm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1.0 mol}}{\text{1 dm}^{3}} = \text{0.050 mol}\\\\\text{Moles of base} = \text{0.050 dm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1.0 mol}}{\text{1 dm}^{3}} = \text{0.050 mol}

So, we have 0.050 mol of reaction

(b) Volume of solution

V = 50 dm³ + 50 dm³ = 100 dm³

(c) Mass of solution

\text{Mass of solution} = \text{100 dm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1.00 g}}{\text{1 dm}^{3}} = \text{100 g}

(d) Calorimetry

There are three energy flows in this reaction.

q₁ = heat from reaction

q₂ = heat to warm the water

q₃ = heat to warm the calorimeter

q₁ + q₂ + q₃ = 0

     nΔH   +         mCΔT       + C_calΔT = 0

0.050ΔH + 100×4.184×4.5 +   50×4.5  = 0

0.050ΔH +          1883        +      225    = 0

                                  0.050ΔH + 2108 = 0

                                              0.050ΔH = -2108

                                                        ΔH = -2108/0.0500

                                                              = -42 000 J/mol

                                                              = -42 kJ/mol

This is the heat of reaction for the formation of 2 mol of water

The heat of reaction for the formation of mol of water is -21 kJ·mol⁻¹.

Describe how the metal probably increases the reaction rate, identify whether this is an example of homogeneous or heterogeneous
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The metal probably increases reaction rate by either holding reactant molecules in the correct orientation to react or by weakening or breaking bonds in reactant molecules to make them more reactive.

This is an example of heterogeneous catalysis.

It is heterogeneous catalysis because the catalyst is a solid and the reactants are gases. In heterogeneous catalysis, the catalyst is in a different phase than the reactants

got it right :)
