5. What are the coefficients when the equation below is balanced?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

C.) 2,1,2

Explanation:

You have to balance the equation by getting the number of elements on the left and right side to equal. Before balancing there is one more oxygen on the left side than the right side. You have to change the coefficient in front of H2O to fix this, and that means adding a "2" in front of the H2 to get that to equal as well.

You end up with 2H₂+10₂→ 2H₂O

Which of the following pairs of elements could react to form an ionic compound? Check all that apply.
KIM [24]

Following are the pair of elements that result in an ionic compound

  • Ca and Cl,
  • S and K,

Option A and B

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Ionic compounds are defined as the compound that consists of ions held by two atoms of differently charged ions.
  • These compounds have a positive charge of ions called cations and a negatively charged element is anions.
  • In the above options, we shall say that the atoms such as Ca and K both result in cations as they release an electron to become a positive ion.
  • Also, Cl and S both result in anions as they attract more electron to form negative ions.
  • These positive and negative ion together results in an ionic compound.

What is the reason carbon atoms are the most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms?
WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

Atomic number of carbon is 6. So, 4 valence electrons are present.

Therefore, it can form 4 covalent bonds with varying bond angles by sharing its valence electrons.

Catenation is also an important property of carbon. Catenation is bonding with atoms of same element. Carbon skeleton can be formed in any direction and can vary in length, branching, and ring structure.

Elements required for making most of the molecules in living organisms are:

C, H, N, O, P and S

Carbon easily form covalents with other 5 elements.

These properties make carbon most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms.

An archaeologist finds 14C in a sample of material to be decaying at 20 Geiger Counter clicks per second. A modern equivalent sa
Kay [80]

Answer:

17188 years

Explanation:

Recall the formula;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log(No/N)

t1/2 = half life of 14C

No = initial activity of 14C

N = activity of 14C at time t

t = age of the sample

Substituting values

0.693/5730= 2.303/t log(160/ 20)

1.21 * 10^-4= 2.0798/t

t = 2.0798/1.21 * 10^-4

t = 17188 years
