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
Alekssandra [962]
N₀ signifies the quantity of C-14 atoms per kg of carbon in the original sample at time = 0 seconds, when the carbon composition matched that in today’s atmosphere. As time progresses to ts, the number of C-14 atoms per kg declines to N, due to radioactive decay. λ indicates the decay constant.
Hence, we have N = N₀e - λt, which is the equation for radioactive decay. Rearranging gives us N₀/N = e λt, or In(N₀/N) = - λt, which becomes equation 1.
The sample contains mc kg of carbon, leading to an activity measured as A/mc decay per kg. The variable r represents the initial mass of C-14 in the sample at t=0 relative to the total mass of carbon which is calculated as [(total number of C-14 atoms at t = 0) × ma] / total mass of carbon. Thus, N₀ equates to r/ma, which becomes equation 2.
The activity of the radioactive element is directly related to the atom count at the moment. The activity equation A = dN/dt = λ(N) indicates that: A = λ₁(N × mc). Rearranging provides N = A / (λmc), represented in equation 3.
By integrating equations 2 and 3, we can solve for t yielding
t = (1/λ) In(rλmc/m₀A).

The reaction between nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide is NO2(g)+CO(g)→NO(g)+CO2(g)NO2(g)+CO(g)→NO(g)+CO2(g) The rate constan
eduard [944]

Response: The rate constant at 525 K is, 0.0606M^{-1}s^{-1}

Rationale:

Based on the Arrhenius equation,

K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}

or,

\log (\frac{K_2}{K_1})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

K_1 = rate constant when 701K = 2.57M^{-1}s^{-1}

K_2 = rate constant when 525K =?

Ea = activation energy for the process = 1.5\times 10^2kJ/mol=1.5\times 10^5J/mol

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

T_1 = initial temperature = 701 K

T_2 = final temperature = 525 K

Substituting the provided values into this formula yields:

\log (\frac{K_2}{2.57M^{-1}s^{-1}})=\frac{1.5\times 10^5J/mol}{2.303\times 8.314J/mole.K}[\frac{1}{701K}-\frac{1}{525K}]

K_2=0.0606M^{-1}s^{-1}

Thus, the rate constant at 525 K is, 0.0606M^{-1}s^{-1}

The empirical formula of a gaseous fluorocarbon is CF2. At a certain temperature and pressure, a 1-L volume holds 8.93 g of this
lions [985]

Answer:

C₄F₈

Explanation:

To find the mass, we will use the mole ratio.

The molar mass of carbon is 12.0107 g/mol.

For fluorine gas, the molar mass is 37.99681 g/mol.

Let x represent the mass of carbon.

The provided mass of fluorine is 1.70 g.

Setting up the proportion: x / 12.01067 = 1.70 / 37.99687.

Now, we will cross-multiply.

This results in: x = (1.70 × 12) / 37.99687 = 20.4 / 37.99687 = 0.53688 g.

To find the mass of one mole of CF₂, we add: 0.53688 + 1.70 = 2.23688 g.

The moles of CF₂ are calculated as: 8.93 g / 2.23688 = 3.992, which rounds to approximately 4.

The molecular formula for CF₂ is then 4(CF₂) = C₄F₈
