The sample of Carbon-14 after 28,575 years=0.001875 mg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5715 years, so t1/2=5715 years

A sample today contains 0.060 mg of carbon-14, so No=0.06 mg, then :

\tt Nt=0.06(\dfrac{1}{2})^{28575/5715}\\\\Nt=0.06(\dfrac{1}{2})^5\\\\Nt=0.001875~mg

sample with masses 0.12g,1.8g, and 0.562g are mixed together the combind mass of the three samples expressed to the correct numb
allsm [11]

Answer:

2.5 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Masses of sample = 0.12 g, 1.8 g, 0.562 g

Combine mass of samples = ?

Solution:

When we add or subtract the values the number of significant figures after decimal in result must be equal to the given measurement having less number of decimal places.

0.12 g + 1.8 g + 0.562 g

2.482 g

In given three measurements 1.8 has less number of significant figure after decimal point which is only one digit. Thus the final value must contain one digit after decimal.

we will round of 2.482 g.

2.5 g

because the next digit after 4 is 8 that's why we will round 4 to 5.

Write a summary paragraph explaining limiting and excess reactants and how you can tell which is which.
4vir4ik [10]
In a chemical reaction, reactants that are not used up when the reaction is finished are called excess reagents. The reagent that is completely used up or reacted is called the limiting reagent, because its quantity limits the amount of products formed. The limiting reactant or limiting reagent is the first reactant to get used up in a chemical reaction. Once the limiting reactant gets used up, the reaction has to stop and cannot continue and there is extra of the other reactants left over. Those are called the excess reactants. The reactant that produces a lesser amount of product is the limiting reagent. The reactant that produces a larger amount of product is the excess reagent. To find the amount of remaining excess reactant, subtract the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of excess reagent given.
