Which isotope is used to date ancient artifacts such as fossils

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: Carbon-14 isotope is used to date ancient artifacts such as fossils.

Explanation:

To determine the age of ancient artifacts such as fossils, we use radiocarbon dating process.

In this process, a naturally occurring radioisotope of carbon which is Carbon-14 is used. This isotope is generally used because this isotope gets constantly created in the atmosphere with the interaction of cosmic rays with the nitrogen present in atmosphere.

Hence, an isotope of carbon which is Carbon-14 is used to determine the age of ancient artifacts such as fossils.

Answer 2
Answer: dating:
this dating is called CARBON 14 DATING...because Carbon 14 is the isotope used to date fossils...
Also Potassium 40 is also used in some cases....

In the compound KHSO4, there is an ionic bond between the1) KH+ and SO42– ions
2) KHSO3+ and O2– ions
3) K+ and HS– ions
4) K+ and HSO4– ions.

Answers

In the compound KHSO4, there is an ionic bond between the K+ and HSO4– ions.

Ionic bond is a type of bond that is formed between metals and non metals. During the reaction, metals usually donate electron[s] to non metals. The metals thus become positively charged while the non metals become negatively charged. Therefore, ionic compound are usually composed of charged particles. For the ionic compound given above, the charged particles in the compound are K+ and HSO4- ions.

How does the arrangement of the particles in a solid compare to that of a liquid? ( The arrangement of a solid's and a liquid's particles is the same.

The particles in a solid are farther apart than the particles in a liquid.

The particles in a solid are closer together than the particles in a liquid.

The arrangement of a solid's and a liquid's particles will depend on the mass of the substance.

Answers

The particles in a solid are closer together than the particles in a liquid.
The correct answer is C.

Which is a possible explanation for why metals would be reactive

Answers

Answer: The reactivity of a metal depends on how easily it loses electrons

The reactivity of metals is due to the difference in stability of their electron configurations as atoms and as ions. As they are all metals they will form positive ions when they react.

How many grams are in 2.40 mol of sodium chloride (NaCl)?

Answers

In this question, we are asked to convert from moles to grams.
We have 2.40 moles of NaCl

We need the molar mass of NaCl. We can calculate this by referencing the periodic table and looking up the atomic weight. 
Na = 22.99g
Cl  = 35.45g
----------------
+      58.44g

2.40 moles x (58.44grams) / (1 mole) = 140.26 grams of NaCl

There are 140.26 grams in 2.40 moles of NaCl.
