Potassium-40 (40K) is a radioactive material that decays into argon-40 (40Ar). The half-life of a sample of 40K is 1.3 billion y

ears. Rocks containing 40K have been around since the formation of the earth, and 40Ar gas has been accumulating in those rocks since the earth formed. However, when rocks are heated by volcanic action, all the 40Ar leaves the rock when the gases escape. Create a scenario and discuss, based on your knowledge of half-life, the value of potassium-argon dating to geologists.

  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

50.0 mol H₂O

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />\displaystyle 50.0 \ mol \ H_2O(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O} ) = 3.011 × 10²⁵ molecules H₂O

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

3.011 × 10²⁵ molecules H₂O ≈ 3.01 × 10²⁵ molecules H₂O

A student does not observe a change when holding a test tube in a flame. However, a change is expected. What is the most likely
dalvyx [7]

The answer is: The reactants were not heated long enough.

For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start).

Activation energy is the minimum energy colliding particles must have in order to react.

By lowering activation energy, reaction need less heat.

In this example, there is not enough heat.

What chemical process is responsible for the smell of vinegar in an old bottle of aspirin?
Oliga [24]

Chemical process is responsible for the smell of vinegar in an old bottle of aspirin is Hydrolysis of ester i.e. Aspirin.

Aspirin reacts with water leading to the formation of Acetic acid which is a Carboxylic acid derivative.

Aspirin on Hydrolysis forms Acetic acid and Salicylic acid.

The reaction shows up as a fizz when aspirin is added in water.

Aspirin is called Acetyl Salicylic acid and it helps to reduce:

  • Inflammation
  • Pain
  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Arthritis
  • Muscle pain
  • Tooth pain

Acetic acid or Ethanoic acid is a colorless liquid. It is an important carboxylic acid. It smells like vinegar.

Acetic acid is used for production of following:

  • Vinyl Acetate
  • Insecticides
  • Rubber
  • Acetic anhydride

Salicylic acid is a bitter compound which is colorless. It reduces acne and opens up the skin pores.

A solution is known to contain either Ni2 or Cr3 . Addition of what single (1 only) reagent would identify which ion is present?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the periodic table; both elements given are from the same group 3.

To test for which ion will be present in the experiment;

We added 6M aqueous sodium hydroxide  in excess.

This process is followed by the addition of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 while stirring.

Heat is then applied to the solution.

After we've carried out those process;

We will notice the following;

IfNi^{2+} is present, then a green NI(OH)_2  precipitate will be formed

If Cr^{3+} is present,then a yellow-colored CrO^{2-}_{4} will be formed.
