If I have a cube with a mass of 24g and a volume of 6cm3, what will be the density of the cube?

What is radioactive dating in chemistry? <br>PLEASE HELP!!!

VARVARA [1.3K]

Radioactive dating uses the concept of half life to determine the age of something.
The general idea is that elements exist naturally as a combination of isotopes. Some isotopes are stable while others decay radioactively. The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time required to reduce the initial quantity of the isotope by 50% through the process of radioactive decay.
Carbon 14 dating works this way. A tree growing in the past would have an equilibrium mixture of C-12 and C-14 atoms in proportions consistent with living matter today. We know this value.
When that tree dies, it no longer accumulates new carbon atoms from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (through photosynthesis). At this point, the proportion of C-14 in the organic matter that was the tree decreases due to the decay of C-14 to an isotope of nitrogen.
When we dig up the remnants of the tree today, we can measure the proportion of C-14 to C-12 and see how much it has been reduced. From this we can calculate backwards using the half life of C-14 (5730 years) to estimate how old the remains of the tree are.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In science, we like to develop explanations that we can use to predict the outcome of events and phenomena. Try to develop an explanation that tells how much NaOH needs to be added to a beaker of HCl to cause the color to change. Your explanation can be something like: The color change will occur when [some amount] of NaOH is added because the color change occurs when [some condition]. The goal for your explanation is that it describes the outcome of this example, but can also be used to predict the outcome of other examples of this phenomenon. Here's an example explanation: The color of the solution will change when 40 ml of NaOH is added to a beaker of HCl because the color always changes when 40ml of base is added. Although this explanation works for this example, it probably won't work in examples where the flask contains a different amount of HCl, such as 30ml. Try to make an explanation that accurately predicts the outcome of other versions of this phenomenon.

Solution :

Consider the equation of the reaction between NaOH and $HCl$

NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCl(aq) + $H_2O (l)$

The above equation tells us that $1 \text{mole}$ of $NaOH$ reacts with $1 \text{mole}$ of $HCl$ .

So at the equivalence point, the moles of NaOH added = moles of $HCl$ present.

If the volume of the $HCl$ taken = $V_1$ mL and the conc. of $HCl$ = $M_1$ mole/L

The volume of NaOH added up to the color change = $V_2 \text{ and conc of NaOH = M}_2$ mole/L

Moles of $HCl$ taken = $V_1 \ mL \times M_1 \ mol/100 \ mL = V_2M_2 \times 10^{-3}$ moles.

The color change will occur when the moles of NaOH added is equal to the moles of $HCl$ taken.

Thus when $V_1 M_1 \times 10^{-3} = V_2M_2 \times 10^{-3}$

or when $V_1M_1 = V_2M_2$

or $V_2=\frac{V_1M_1}{M_2}$ mL of NaOH added, we observe the color change.

Where $V_1, M_1$ are the volume and molarity of the $HCl$ taken.

$M_2$ is the molarity of NaOH added.

When both the NaOH and $HCl$ are of the same concentrations, i.e. if $M_1=M_2$ , then $V_2=V_1$

Or the 40 mL of $HCl$ will need 40 mL of NaOH for a color change and

30 mL of $HCl$ would need 30 mL of NaOH for the color change (provided the concentration $M_1=M_2$ )

Why are fossils<br> important in the<br> development of the<br> geologic time scale?

olga55 [171]

Fossils are fundamental to the geologic time scale. The names of most of the eons and eras end in zoic, because these time intervals are often recognized on the basis of animal life. Rocks formed during the Proterozoic Eon may have fossils of relative simple organisms, such as bacteria, algae, and wormlike animals
