The age of the ancient piece of wood that she located given the data is 1482 years

How to determine the number of half-lives

Original amount (N₀) = 100%

Amount remaining (N) = 83%

Number of half-lives (n) =?

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = 100 / 83

2ⁿ = 1.2

Take the Log of both side

Log 2ⁿ = Log 1.2

nLog 2 = Log 1.2

Divide both side by Log 2

n = Log 1.2 / Log 2

n = 0.26

How to determine the age

Number of half-lives (n) = 0.26

Half-life (t½) = 5700 years

Time (t) =?

t = n × t½

t = 0.26 × 5700

t = 1482 years

What is the molecular formula of a compound containing 89% cesium (Cs) and 11% oxygen (O) with a molar mass = 298 g/mol?
Maurinko [17]
M(Cs)=133 g/mol
M(O)=16 g/mol
M(CsxOy)=298 g/mol
w(Cs)=0.89
w(O)=0.11

CsxOy

x=M(CsxOy)w(Cs)/M(Cs)
x=298*0.89/133=2

y=M(CsxOy)w(O)/M(O)
y=298*0.11/16=2

Sliva [168]

Answer:

7.1

Explanation:

equation to calculate pH is

pH=-Log_{10}(a_{H^+})=-Log_{10}(8*10^-8) = -Log_{10}(8)-Log_{10}(10^{-8})=-0.9+8=7.1
