Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Age of the mummy should be determined from the following given information.

Concept Introduction:

Radioactive dating is a technique for the determination of the "age" of a mineral sample by determining the presence of the relative amounts of radioactive elements. Age is thetime passed from when themineral samplewas formed.

In Carbon dating orcarbon-14 dating, the “age” of an organicspecimenis concludedby exploiting the properties of a radioactive carbon isotope or radiocarbon.

The rate of decay of any radioactive isotope is calculated in half-life. Thisterm is defined as the time taken by one-half of the atoms of any radioactive material to degenerate.

Using reaction free energy to predict equilibrium composition Consider the following equilibrium: N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) = 2NH3 (g) AG⁰ = -34. KJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 8.06 atm of nitrogen (N2) and 2.58 atm of ammonia (NH3) at 106. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: ? rise Under these conditions, will the pressure of N2 tend to rise or fall? ☐ x10 fall Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding H₂? In other words, if you said the pressure of N2 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding H₂? Similarly, if you said the pressure of N2 will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding H₂? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of H₂ needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. yes no ☐ atm ☑ 5 00. 18 Ar
