Answer:

The age of ship is 1900 years.

Explanation:

The half life period of carbon - 14 is 5730 years

Ship have 67 % of the concentration of Carbon-14

And the ship lost (100- 67 = 33%) 33% of carbon - 14.

Therefore,

The age of ship = lost percentage X half life period of carbon -14

= 33 \times 5730 yrs = 1890.9yrs\equiv 1900\,years

Therefore, The age of ship is 1900 years.

How do models help scientists predict the polarity of molecules?
yuradex [85]

Answer:There are three main properties of chemical bonds that must be considered—namely, their strength, length, and polarity. The polarity of a bond is the distribution of electrical charge over the atoms joined by the bond. Specifically, it is found that, while bonds between identical atoms (as in H2) are electrically uniform in the sense that both hydrogen atoms are electrically neutral, bonds between atoms of different elements are electrically inequivalent. In hydrogen chloride, for example, the hydrogen atom is slightly positively charged whereas the chlorine atom is slightly negatively charged. The slight electrical charges on dissimilar atoms are called partial charges, and the presence of partial charges signifies the occurrence of a polar bond.

What are the best practices while sharing a lab balance with other students? Select one or more: Leave a note when you have tare
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

  • Brush off any chemical dust around the balance after each use
  • Alert your TA or instructor about any issues with the balance

Explanation:

The best practices while sharing a lab balance with other students includes alerting your TA or instructor about issues with the balance and Brushing off any chemical dust around the balance after each use. the practices will help to avert/reduce the work hazards associated with working with a balance.

Brushing off any chemical dust after each use will reduce the chemical hazards in the lab while Alerting your instructor about any issues with the balance helps to eliminate mechanical hazards that a faulty balance can pose

Draw the Lewis structure for CH3CH2O2H?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

hydroperoxyethane

Explanation:

tomsFor the Lewis structure we have to remember that all the atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except for hydrogen). In this structure, we have three types of atoms, Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. So, we have to remember the <u>valence electrons</u> for each atom:

-) Carbon : 4 electrons

-) Hydrogen: 1 electron

-) Oxygen: 6 electrons

We can start with the "CH_3" part. We can put 3 hydrogen bond arroun the carbon. We can use this same logic with  "CH_2". Finally for oxygens, we can put it one bond with CH_2 and a bond between oxygens with a final bond with hydrogen to obtain <u>hydroperoxyethane</u>.

See figure 1 for further explanations.

Balance the following oxidation-reduction reaction: Fe(s)+Na+(aq)→Fe2+(aq)+Na(s) Express the coefficients as integers separated
aliina [53]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 1, 2, 1, 2

Explanation:

                       1 Fe(s)  + 2 Na⁺(aq)  → 1 Fe²⁺(aq)  + 2 Na(s)

                             Fe⁰   -   2e⁻       ⇒           Fe⁺²        Oxidases

                             Na⁺   +  1 e⁻       ⇒           Na⁰         Reduces

                      1 x ( 1 Fe⁰      ⇒         1 Fe⁺²)      Interchange number of

                      2 x ( 2Na⁺       ⇒       2 Na⁰ )      electrons

Use electron configurations to account for the stability of the lanthanide ions Ce⁴⁺ and Eu²⁺.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

 The Ce metal has electronic configuration as follows

[Xe] 4f¹5d¹6s²

After losing 4 electrons , it gains noble gas configuration ,. So Ce ⁺⁴ is stable.

Eu  has electronic configuration as follows

[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷6s²

[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷

Its outermost orbit contains 2 electrons so  Eu²⁺ is stable. Its +3 oxidation state is also stable.

Ce⁺²
