<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
3.5g of element A
4.0g of element G
Required
the empirical formula for this compound
Solution
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
The empirical formula also shows the simplest mole ratio of the constituent elements of the compound
mol of element A :
mol of element G :
mol ratio A : G = 0.5 : 0.25 = 2 : 1
Answer:
the positive charges of the nuclei and the negative charges of delocalized electrons
Explanation:
The interatomic forces that joins a piece of metal atoms together are the positive charges of the nuclei and the negative charges of delocalized electrons.
This bond type is the metallic bond.
- The metallic bond is an attraction between the positive nuclei of all the closely packed atoms in the lattice.
- Also, the electron cloud jointly formed by all the atoms losing their outermost shell electrons.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
= 11,460 years
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years
. Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass. Therefore, it would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams</u></em>
<em>The initial amount of carbon-14 in this case was 1 whole; thus; </em>
<em>1 → 1/2 →1/4</em>
<em>To contain 1/4 of the value, 2 half-lives have passed.
</em>
<em>But, 1 half life = 5,730 years</em>
<em>Therefore; The artifact is is therefore: 2 x 5,730
</em>
<em> = 11,460 years </em>
The half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years. (Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass).
Let A₀ be the initial amount of carbon-14 that is found in living matter (t=0 years), to determine when there was 44.5% of A₀ left.
44.5 = 100 × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives
0.5^n = 0.445
n = log 0.445/log 0.5
n = 1.168
But 1 half life is 5700 years
Therefore, the number of years will be 5700 × 1.168 = 6658.299725 years
≈ 6658.30 years
