Find the age t of a sample, if the total mass of carbon in the sample is mc, the activity of the sample is a, the current ratio

of the mass of 14 6c to the total mass of carbon in the atmosphere is r, and the decay constant of 14 6c is λ. assume that, at any time, 14 6c is a negligible fraction of the total mass of carbon and that the measured activity of the sample is purely due to 14 6c. also assume that the ratio of mass of 14 6c to total carbon mass in the atmosphere (the source of the carbon in the sample) is the same at present and on the day when the number of 14 6c atoms in the sample was set. express your answer in terms of the mass ma of a 14 6c atom, mc, a, r, and λ.

N₀ is the number of C-14 atoms per kg of carbon in the original sample at time = Os when its carbon was of the same kind as that present in the atmosphere today. After time ts, due to radioactive decay, the number of C-14 atoms per kg of carbon is the same sample which has decreased to N. λ is the radioactive decay constant.
Therefore N = N₀e-λt which is the radioactive decay equation,
N₀/N = eλt In (N₀.N= λt. This is the equation 1
The mass of carbon which is present in the sample os mc kg. So the sample has a radioactivity of A/mc decay is/kg. r is the mass of C-14 in original sample at t= 0 per total mass of carbon in a sample which is equal to [(total number of C-14 atoms in the sample at t m=m 0) × ma]/ total mass of carbon in the sample.
Now that the total number of C-14 atoms in the sample at t= 0/ total mass of carbon in sample = N₀ then r = N₀×ma
So N₀ = r/ma. this equation 2.
 The activity of the radioactive substance is directly proportional to the number of atoms present at the time.
Activity = A number of decays/ sec = dN/dt = λ(number of atoms of C-14 present at time t) = 
λ₁(N×mc). By rearranging we get N = A/(λmc) this is equation 3.
By plugging in equation 2 and 3 and solve t to get
t = 1/λ In (rλmc/m₀A).

Be sure to answer all parts. There are three different dichloroethylenes (molecular formula C2H2Cl2), which we can designate X,
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Explanation:Since the compound X has no net-dipole moment so we can ascertain that this compound is not associated with any polarity.

hence the compound must be overall non-polar. The net dipole moment of compound is zero means that the vector sum of individual dipoles are zero and hence the two individual bond dipoles associated with C-Cl bond  must be oriented in  the opposite directions with respect to each other.]

So we can propose that compound X must be trans alkene as only in trans compounds the individual bond dipoles cancel each other.

If one isomer of the alkene is trans then the other two isomers may be cis .

Since the two alkenes give the same molecular formula on hydrogenation which means they are quite similar and only slightly different.

The two possibility of cis structures are possible:

in the first way it is possible the one carbon has two chlorine substituents and the carbon has two hydrogens.

Or the other way could be that two  chlorine atoms are present on the two carbon atoms in cis manner that is on the same side and two hydrogens are also present on the different carbon atoms in the same manner.

Kindly refer the attachments for the structure of compounds:

List the number of each type of atom on the left side of the equation 2C10H22(l)+31O2(g)→20CO2(g)+22H2O(g)
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: There are 20 carbons atoms, 62 oxygen atoms and 44 carbon atoms on the left side of the equation.

Explanation:

In the given chemical reaction:

2C_{10}H_{22}(l)+31O_2(g)\rightarrow 20CO_2(g)+22H_2O(g)

Reactants side = Left side

Number of atoms =

Coefficient × Number of atoms of an element in a unit molecular formula

Number of carbon atoms = 2 × 10 = 20

Number of oxygen atoms = 31 × 2 = 62

Number of hydrogen atoms =  2 × 22 = 44

Which equation illustrates conservation of mass?
pochemuha
Answer = c


Conservation of mass (mass is never lost or gained in chemical reactions), during chemical reaction no particles are created or destroyed, the atoms are rearranged from the reactants to the products.

The specific rotation of (R) carvone is (+) 61°. The optical rotation of a sample of a mixture of R &S carvone is measured a
shusha [124]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

% optical purity = specific rotation of mixture/specific rotation of pure enantiomer  * 100/1

specific rotation of mixture = 23°

specific rotation of pure enantiomer = 61°

Hence;

% optical purity = 23/61 * 100 = 38 %

More abundant enantiomer = 100% - 38 % = 62%

Hence the pure  (S) carvone is (-) 62° is the more abundant enantiomer.

Enantiomeric excess = 62 - 50/50 * 100 = 24%

Hence

(R) - carvone  =  38 %

(S) - carvone = 62%

2 attempts left select the single best answer. The radii of the lithium and magnesium ions are 76 pm and 72 pm, respectively. Wh
Lina20 [59]

The ionic character of any compound depend on the lattice energy as well as the electronegativity of element present in that compound.

More would be the lattice energy more would be ionic nature of that compound.

The lattice energy of any compound is inversely proportional to the ionic radii cation and anion.

In given case the ionic radii of oxide in both oxides would be equal therefore the lattice energy only depend on the ionic radii of cation.

Lattice energy (U)     =   \frac{1}{Ionic radii}

As the radii of Magnesium less then radii of lithium therefore lattice energy of Magnesium oxide would be more than lithium oxide.

Hence, MgO would be more ionic in nature than Li_{2}O
