Charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 years.

<h3>What is a radioactive isotope?</h3>

A radioactive isotope is an element in nature that emit radioactivity in a given period of time (e.g., the half-life for C14 is equal to 5,730 years).

Radioactive dating is a technique to measure the age of an element by measuring its radioactive activity.

In conclusion, charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 yr.

Which sample contains the largest number of molecules?
joja [24]
The largest number of molecules  is the same as the largest number of moles of this molecules
to calculate the number of moles you have to divide the mass by the molar mass

molar masses:
CO2:  44,01 g/mol
CH4: 16,04 g/mol
CBr4: 331,63 g/mol
CHBr3: 252,73 g/mol

largest nº of mol= 100/(the smallest molar mass possible)
= 100/16,04
=6,23 moles

all other molecules would be smaller than 6,23 moles because the molar mass is so high.

The answer is B : 1<span>00 g of ch4</span>
