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

The bond dissociation energy to break 4 bond(s) in 1 mole of CH₄ molecules is:_____ **Any help would be greatly appreciated!**
frozen [14]

Answer:

The bond dissociation energy to break 4 bonds in 1 mol of CH is 1644 kJ

Explanation:

Since there are 4 C-H bonds in CH₄, the bond dissociation energy of 1 mol of CH₄ is 4 × bond dissociation energy of one C-H bond.

From the table one mole is C-H bond requires 411 kJ, that is 411 kJ/mol. Therefore, 4 C-H bonds would require 4 × 411 kJ = 1644 kJ

So, the bond dissociation energy to break 4 bonds in 1 mol of CH₄ is 1644 kJ

What is the condition of water in the hydrosphere right now?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

           A planet's <u>hydrosphere</u> can be<u> liquid</u>, <u>vapor</u>, or <u>ice</u>. On Earth, in the places at the <u>north and south pole</u>, water exists in ice or glacier form, in the <u>atmosphere</u> it exists in vapor form and liquid water exists on the <u>surface</u> in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers. It also exists below ground as <u>groundwater</u>, in wells and aquifers. Water collects in clouds, then falls to Earth in the form of <u>rain or snow</u>,
