The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. Dating organic material by looking for C-14 can’t be accurately done after 50,000 yea

rs. Suppose a fossilized tree branch originally contained 4.30 grams of C-14. How much C-14 would be left after 50,000 years? Use the formula N = N0 . A tree branch that originally had 4.3 grams of carbon-14 will have grams after 50,000 years.

Answer:

0.0102 g

Explanation:

A common formula for determining the amount of sample remaining in terms of its half-life is

N =N_{0}(\frac{ 1}{2 })^{n}

where

n = \frac{t }{t_{\frac{1 }{2 }} }

t = 50 000 yr

t_{\frac{ 1}{ 2}} = \text{5730 yr }       Calculate n

n = 50 000/5730

n = 8.726

===============

N₀ = 4.30 g                       Calculate N

N = 4.30(\frac{ 1}{2 })^{8.726}

N = 4.30 × 2.36 × 10⁻³

N₀ = 0.0102 g

Which of the following statements is (are) true about enzyme-catalyzed reactions? a. The reaction is faster than the same reacti
Brums [2.3K]

Answer : The correct option is A.

Explanation :

Enzyme-catalyzed reaction :

Enzyme act as a biological catalyst and the role of catalyst is to increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.

Most of the chemical reactions are slow in the absence of enzyme but in the presence of enzyme, the reaction become faster. That means the Enzyme accelerate the rate of reaction.

Therefore, the correct answer is the reaction is faster than the same reaction in the absence of the enzyme.

What is the change in enthalpy in kilojoules when 3.24 g of CH3OH is completely reacted according to the following reaction 2 CH
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

12.78 kJ

Explanation:

The correct balanced reaction would be

2CH_3OH\rightarrow 2CH_4+O_2\Delta H=252.8\ \text{kJ}

Mass of methanol = 3.24\ \text{g}

Moles of methanol can be obtained by dividing the mass of methanol with its molar mass (32.04\ \text{g/mol})

\dfrac{3.24}{32.04}=0.10112\ \text{moles}

Enthalpy change for the number of moles is given by

\dfrac{\text{Number of moles of methanol in the reaction}}{\text{Enthalpy change in the reaction}}=\dfrac{\text{Number of moles in 3.24 g of methanol}}{\text{Enthaply in change in the mass of methanol}}

\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{2}{252.8}=\dfrac{0.10112}{\Delta H}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=\dfrac{0.10112\times 252.8}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=12.781568\approx 12.78\ \text{kJ}

The change in enthalpy is 12.78 kJ.

Which of the following describes the electron sharing between hydrogen and fluorine?
EastWind [94]
Hello
We know both the elements involved in bonding are non-metals and the primary type of bonds involved in non-metals are covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share one or more electrons; thus we know that whatever the number of electrons shared, it has to be equal for both. We can eliminate choices A and B.
Next, we understand that it is easier for one atom to be shared among the two, rather than the 7. First, because Hydrogen needs only 1 electron to be stable and would require energy to compensate the remaining 6. Second, electrons are attracted towards the nucleus so it is inefficient to try and share 7 electrons when 1 provides the same amount of stability to Fluorine.
Therefore, the answer is C.
