You are in a lab and you find a bottle that contains . One of your coworkers wants to get a Geiger counter to

check and see if it is radioactive. You then tell them that they don't need to do that because you already know the

answer without testing it or looking up the answer.

a. Is the sample radioactive?

b. How do you know?

Count out 200 M&Ms and place them with the "M" side up on the tray. The tray represents a rock sample and the candies with the marked side represent the entire radioactivity the sample contains initially. Give the tray a shake so that many of the candies flip over. One shake represents the passage of 5,000 years. Count and remove all of the M&Â®s that flipped over to the unmarked side. These represent the radioactivity that underwent nuclear decay and transmutated into a different element. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until all the candies are gone. (If you give the tray a shake and none of the candies flip over, be sure to record the shake as the passage of 5,000 years but with zero transmutations.) Normally, eating in the lab is not permissible; make sure that everything is clean and properly disposed of Plot a line graph with the number of "radioactive" particles left (you must start with 200 at time = 0. Subtract the first amount that flipped over for the first 5,000 years. Then subtract the second amount from that number -- not the 200 -- at 10,000 years, etc.) versus time (on the horizontal axis). Be sure that it is properly labeled and titled. Explain why your "radioactive decay" curve is not perfectly smooth; in other words, besides the fact that this is not really radioactive and you are shaking a tray instead of the passage of real time, why are real radioactive decay curves very predictable? What do mathematicians call the shape of this curve? If the half-life of your sample is 5,000 years, calculate the value for k, the rate constant. Be sure to show your calculations. Assume that your "radioactivity" was C-14 (carbon-14, carbon with mass number 14) and that it undergoes beta decay. Write the balanced nuclear equation for this reaction. Carbon dating can be used to get a measurement of the age of a carbon-containing sample. (Scientists actually use mass spectroscopy and measure ratios of isotopes, which is a bit more complicated than can be replicated here.) Using the curve you created in Step 1, determine the age of a sample with this amount of radioactivity left: 75% 50% 25% 0%

Does a salt has to be pH 7 or can it be acidic? Why it becomesacidic? I am asking all of these questions because I don't thinkwhat I have written is correct please check it if you are very goodat chemistry. If you think you don't know the answer please don'tgive me suggestions. give me exact answer?

In this investigation, solution 8409, was identified as an acidusing pH test as It had a pH level of 3 - 4. Thus its cation wasdecided to be hydrogen. One unexpected result was that solution5826 (zinc sulphate) had a pH level of 5, although it was a salt,and was thought to be slightly acidic. It could be concluded thatthis salt was formed from a strong acid and a weak base. This couldalso be as a result of contamination with other chemicals. This canbe improved by putting the unknown solution into test tubes ratherthan testing trays where the chemicals could run into each other.
