In 2021, you were given a 100. g wine sample to verify its age. Using tritium dating you observe that the sample has 0.688 decay

events per minute. Tritium has a half life of 12.3 and fresh water exhibits 5.5 decay events per minute per 100. g. What year was the wine produced

Answer:

1984

Explanation:

Given the formula;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (Ao/A)

Where;

t1/2 = half life of the radioactive isotope

t= age of the wine

Ao= initial activity of the wine

A= activity of the at time = t

0.693/12.3 = 2.303/t log (5.5/0.688)

0.693/12.3 = 2.079/t

0.056 = 2.079/t

t= 2.079/0.056

t= 37 years

The wine was produced 37 years ago which means that it was produced in the year 1984

How many grams of copper (I) chloride can be produced from the reaction of 73.5 g of copper (I) oxide with hydrochloric acid acc
natulia [17]

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows

Cu₂O + 2HCl ---> 2CuCl + H₂O

Molar ratio of Cu₂O to CuCl is 1:2

mass of Cu₂O reacted - 73.5 g

Number of moles of Cu₂O reacted - 73.5 g / 143 g/mol = 0.51 mol

According to the molar ratio,

when 1 mol of  Cu₂O reacts then 2 mol of CuCl is formed

therefore when 0.51 mol of Cu₂O reacts then - 2 x 0.51 mol of CuCl is formed

number of CuCl moles formed - 1.02 mol

mass of CuCl formed - 1.02 mol x 99 g/mol = 101 g

mass of CuCl formed is 101 g

Consider the following hypothetical reaction: 2 P + Q → 2 R + S The following mechanism is proposed for this reaction: P + P Q
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: the answer is option (D). k[P]²[Q]

Explanation:

first of all, let us consider the reaction from the question;

2P + Q → 2R + S

and the reaction mechanism for the above reaction given thus,

P + P ⇄ T     (fast)

Q + T → R + U    (slow)

U → R + S    (fast)

we would be applying the Rate law  to determine the mechanism.

The mechanism above is a three step process where the slowest step seen is the rate determining step. From this, we can see that this slow step involves an intermediate T as reactant and is expressed in terms of a starting substance P.

It is important to understand that laws based on experiment do not allow for intermediate concentration.  

The mechanism steps for the reactions in the question  are given below when we add them by cancelling the intermediates on the opposite side of the equations then we get the overall reaction equation.

adding this steps gives a final overall reaction reaction.

2P + Q ------------˃ 2R + S

Thus the rate equation is given as

Rate (R) = K[P]²[Q]

cheers, i hope this helps

What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 8.60 g of a solid with a
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

1.43 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of the solid. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solid = 8.60 g

Molar mass of solid = 21.50 g/mol

Mole of solid =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of solid = 8.60 / 21.50

Mole of solid = 0.4 mole

Next, we shall convert 280 mL to litre (L). This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

280 mL = 280 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL

280 mL = 0.28 L

Thus, 280 mL is equivalent to 0.28 L.

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the solution. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mole of solid = 0.4 mole

Volume = 0.28 L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity = 0.4 / 0.28

Molarity = 1.43 M

Thus, the molarity of the solution is 1.43 M.

A(n) _______________ can be formed by linking together several monosaccharides via glycosidic bonds.
mario62 [17]

Answer:

A polysaccharide (n) can be formed by linking several monosaccharides through glycosidic linkages.

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are carbohydrates or complex carbohydrates, where monosaccharides join with glucosidic bonds to form a more complex structure that would be the polysaccharide.

An example of a polysaccharide is starch, or glycogen.

Starch is found in many foods such as potatoes or rice, and glycogen is a form of energy reserve of our organism housed in muscles and liver to fulfill locomotion, physical activity, and other activities that consist of glycolysis.

Polysaccharides are degraded in our body by different stages, and several enzymes unlike monosoccharides or disaccharides, since they have more unions and a more complex structure to disarm in our body and thus assimilate it.

Polysaccharides are also part of animal structures, such as insect shells or nutritional sources, among others.

Suppose you heat an oven to 400°F (about 200°C) and boil a pot of water. Which of the following explains why you would be burned
goblinko [34]

Answer: The correct answer is: the water can transfer heat to your arm more quickly than the air.

Explanation: The heat is transferred from the air or water to your arm through convection. The convective heat transfer coefficient of water is higher than the air's, so, even though the temperature of boiling water is lower, the heat will be transferred more efficiently to the other surface, in this case, the hand.
