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

As you move across the period on the periodic table what pattern can be described about the electron configurations?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Elements in the same period have same number of electronic shell and electron is increased by one in every coming element with in same electronic shell.

Explanation:

Consider the second period of periodic table. This period consist of eight elements lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon.

Electronic configuration of lithium:

Li₃ = [He] 2s¹

Electronic configuration of beryllium:

Be₄ = [He] 2s²

Electronic configuration of boron:

B₅ = [He] 2s² 2p¹

Electronic configuration of carbon:

C₆ = [He] 2s² 2p²

Electronic configuration of nitrogen:

N₇ = [He] 2s² 2p³

Electronic configuration of oxygen:

O₈ = [He] 2s² 2p⁴

Electronic configuration of fluorine:

F₉ = [He] 2s² 2p⁵

Electronic configuration of neon:

Ne₁₀ = [He] 2s² 2p⁶

All these elements present in same period having same electronic shell and number of electron increased by 1.

When the nail was copper-plated in Part III of the lab, what element do you think was reduced? Explain your answer in complete s
Jet001 [13]
Reduction <span>always results in a lowering of the oxidation number. The reaction of the system above is written as:

</span><span>Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) --> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq) 
</span>
From the reaction, we see that copper goes from the +2 to a neutral charge. Lowering of the oxidation number happens so this is the element that is being reduced.
