The remnants of an ancient fire in a cave in Peru showed a decay rate of 8.0 counts per minute per gram of carbon. Assuming that

the decay rate in freshly cut wood is 12.7 counts per minute per gram of carbon, calculate the age of the remnants. The half life of 614C is 5730 years.

The age of the remnants is calculated as 3807 years.

<h3>What is the half life?</h3>

The half life is the time taken for only half of the number of the radioactive atoms to remain.

Half life of carbon - 14 = 5730 years.

Initial count rate = 8.0 counts per minute per gram

Count rate at time t =  12.7 counts per minute per gram of carbon

Since;

0.693/t1/2 =2.303/t log (N/No)

0.693/5730 = 2.303/t log (12.7/8)

1.21 * 10^-4 = 2.303/t * 0.2

t = 2.303 * 0.2/1.21 * 10^-4

t = 0.4606/1.21 * 10^-4

t = 3807 years

A solution is made by adding 29.1 mL of concentrated perchloric acid ( 70.5 wt% , density 1.67 g/mL ) to some water in a volumet
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The concentration of the solution is 1.364 molar.

Explanation:

Volume of perchloric acid = 29.1 mL

Mass of the solution = m

Density of the solution = 1.67 g/mL

m=1.67 g/mL\times 29.1 mL=48.597 g

Percentage of perchloric acid in 48.597 solution :70.5 %

Mass of perchloric acid in 48.597 solution :

= \frac{70.5}{100}\times 48.597 = 34.261 g

Moles of perchloric acid = \frac{34.261 g}{100.46 g/mol}=0.3410 mol

In 29.1 mL of solution water is added and volume was changed to 250 mL.

So, volume of the final solution = 250 mL = 0.250 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume (L)}

=\frac{0.3410 mol}{0.250 L}=1.364 M

The concentration of the solution is 1.364 molar.

The amount of fat recommended for somone with a daily diet of 2000 Calories is 65 g. What percent of the calories in this diet w
Doss [256]

Answer:

29.575%

Explanation:

Data provided:

Calories taken in daily diet = 2000

Recommended amount of fat = 65 grams

Average number of calories for fat = 9.1 calories / g

Thus,

Number of calories in the diet with average number of calories for fat

= Recommended amount of fat × Average number of calories for fat

= 65 × 9.1

= 591.5 calories

Therefore,

the percentage of calories in his diet supplied = ( 591.5 / 2000 ) × 100

= 29.575%
