Answer:
The atomic weight in g/mole of the metal (molar mass) is 8.87.
Explanation:
To begin, it is possible to assume that, as a sample, it has 100 g of the compound. This means that:
- 52.92% metal: 52.92 g M
- 47.80% oxygen: 47.80 g O
Using the molar mass of oxygen, which is 16 g / mol, it is possible to calculate the amount of moles of oxygen present in the sample using the rule of three:
moles of oxygen=2.9875
The chemical formula of metal oxide tells you that:
2 M⁺³ + 3 O²⁻ ⇒ M₂O₃
In the previous equation you can see that you need 3 oxygen anions to react with two metal cations. Then:
You have 52.92 g of metal in the sample, then the molar mass of the metal is:
molar mass≅ 8.87 g/mol
<u><em> The atomic weight in g/mole of the metal (molar mass) is 8.87.</em></u>
The closest match to this value is Beryllium (Be), which has an atomic mass of 9.0122 g / mol.
Answer:
To calculate the age of a piece of bone
Explanation:
Carbon 14 is an isotope of carbon that is unstable and decays into Nitrogen 14 by emitting an electron. The decay rate of radioactive material is normally expressed in terms of its "half-life" (the time required by half the radioactive nuclei of a sample to undergo radioactive decay). The nice thing about carbon 14 is that its "half-life" is about 5730 years, which gives a nice reference to measure the age of fossils that are some thousand years old.
Carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of objects that have been living organisms long ago. They measure how much carbon 14 is left in the object after years of decaying without having exchange with the ambient via respiration, ingestion, absorption, etc. and therefore having renewed the normal amount of carbon 14 that is in the ambient.
A rock is not a living organism, so its age cannot be determined by carbon 14 dating.
Answer:
a.3.20m
b.0.45cm
Explanation:
a. Equation for minima is defined as: 
Given 
,
and 
:
#Substitute our variable values in the minima equation to obtain 
:
#draw a triangle to find the relationship between 
and 
.
#where 
Hence the screen is 3.20m from the split.
b. To find the closest minima for green(the fourth min will give you the smallest distance)
#Like with a above, the minima equation will be defined as:
, where 
given that it's the minima with the smallest distance.
#we then use to calculate =4.5cm
Then from the equation subtract 
from 
:
Hence, the distance 
is 0.45cm
