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.

A sample of oxygen gas was collected via water displacement. since the oxygen was collected via water displacement, the sample i
mylen [45]

The sample of oxygen gas was collected through water displacement. So, the gas collected will be a mixture of oxygen and water vapor.

Given that the total pressure of the mixture of gases containing oxygen and water vapor = 749 Torr

Vapor pressure of pure water at 26.4^{0}C=25.81mmHg

                               = 25.81 mmHg*\frac{1 Torr}{1 mmHg} =25.81 Torr

According to Dalton's law of partial pressures,

Total pressure = Partial pressure of Oxygen gas + Partial pressure of water

  749 Torr = Partial pressure of Oxygen gas + 25.81 Torr

Partial pressure of Oxygen gas = 749 Torr - 25.81 Torr =  723.19 Torr

Therefore the partial pressure of Oxygen gas in the mixture collected will be 723.19 Torr

Given 7.20 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100
julsineya [31]

The reaction between butanoic acid and ethanol is:

CH3CH2CH2COOH + CH3CH2OH → CH3CH2CH2COOCH3CH2 + H2O

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

1 mole of butanoic acid forms 1 mole of ethyl butyrate

Now,

Molar mass of Butanoic acid = 88.0 g/mol

Given mass of butanoic acid = 7.20 g

Therefore, # moles of butanoic acid reacted = 7.20/88.0 = 0.0818 moles

# moles of ethyl butyrate formed = 0.0818 moles

Molar mass of ethyl butyrate = 116 g/mol

Mass of ethyl butyrate synthesized = 0.0818 * 116 = 9.49 g

What are some positive applications for allelotoxin?
pogonyaev

Positive applications for allelotoxin is that it prevents plants from enduring any type of competition with other species.

<h3>What is Allelopathy?</h3>

This is the process in which a plant inhibits the growth of another through a secretion of a chemical which is referred to as allelotoxin.

This technique however reduces biodiversity which isn't ideal so as to prevent organisms from going extinct and also reduces adaptation or evolution due to the reduced or non growth of the plant species which are affected.

A common example is  the sorghum plant preventing of the growth of weeds thereby resulting in the most appropriate choices for the positive applications of allelotoxin.
