Question: Why is the most stable isotope of calcium?
What is a cation-electron pair, and how does it form?
The oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde can be accomplished by reaction with chromic acid:
The reaction can be studied with the stable isotope tracerand mass spectrometry. When a small amount of CH318OH is present in the alcohol reactant, forms. When a small amount of is present, forms. Does chromic acid or methanol supply the O atom to the aldehyde? Explain.
The fraction of a radioactive isotope remaining at time t is , where is the half-life. If the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730yr , what fraction of carbon- 14 in a piece of charcoal remains after
(a) 10.0yr;
(b) ;
(c) ?
(d) Why is radiocarbon dating more reliable for the fraction remaining in part (b) than that in part (a) or in part (c)?
How many curies are produced by 1.0 mol of ? How many becquerels ?
