Explanation:
Carbon-12 atoms have stable nuclei because of the 1:1 ratio of protons and neutrons.
Carbon-14 atoms have nuclei which are unstable. C-14 atoms will undergo alpha decay and produce atoms of N-14. Carbon-14 dating can be used to determine the age of artifacts which are not more than 50,000 years old.
Answer:
Identify the "given" information and what the problem is asking you to "find."
Given : Cl2O7
Find: % Composition (% Cl and %O)
List other known quantities.
Mass of Cl in 1 mol Cl2O7 , 2 Cl : 2 x 35.45 g = 70.90 g
Mass of O in 1 mol Cl2O7 , 7 O: 7 x 16.00 g = 112.00 g
Molar mass of Cl2O7 = 182.90 g/mol
