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.

If element x forms the oxides xo and x2o3 the oxidation numbers of element x are
Deffense [45]

Answer:

b) +2 and +3.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the molecular formulas:

XO

And:

X_2O_3

We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:

X^{+2}O^{-2}

Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:

X_2^{+3}O_3^{-2}

Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3

Best regards.

What was the original volume of a gas if heating it from 22k to 85k produced a volume of 3.8 liters?
mel-nik [20]

Answer: the original volume was 0.98L

Explanation:

V1 =?

T1 = 22k

V2 = 3.8L

T2 = 85k

V1 /T1 = V2 /T2

VI/22 = 3.8/85

V1 = 22 x (3.8/85)

V1 = 0.98L
