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

Katena32 [7]

ANSWER

2 valence electrons

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The electronic configuration is given below as

1s^22s^22p^62s^23p^64s^2

Looking at the configuration, you will see that the last energy carries 2 electrons

Hence, the valence electrons are 2

Which equation is set up correctly to determine the volume of a 1.5 mole sample of oxygen gas at 22°C and 100 kPa?
LenKa [72]

The volume could be calculated by using  <span>V = n RT / P </span>

In which V = Volume
n = number of Moles
R= The Gas constant
T = Temperature (ideally this would be in Kelvin, but i don't see it in the option)
P = Pressure


I believe the answer is

 <span>V = (1.5mol) (0.08205 L*kPa/K*mol) (22Celsius)/100 kPa

How many sigma and pi bonds does it contain ch3chchco2h?
ira [324]
Answer:
            But-2-enoic acid has 11 Sigma Bonds and 2 Pi Bonds.

Explanation:
                   The sigma bonds which are formed due to head to head overlap of partally filled orbitals are shown in red color, while Pi bonds which are formed after the formation of sigma bond by overlap of orbitals perpendicular to the sigma bond are shown in blue color.

If i have 8 L of 0.25 M solution, how many miles of MgCl2 are present
qaws [65]

Answer:

2 moles

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

Molarity = 0.25 M

Volume = 8L

Mole =?

Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of solution. It is represented mathematically as:

Molarity = mole of solute/Volume of solution.

With the above equation, we can easily find the number of mole of MgCl2 present in 8 L of 0.25 M MgCl2 solution as follow:

Molarity = mole of solute/Volume of solution.

0.25 = mole of MgCl2 /8

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Mole of MgCl2 = 0.25 x 8

Mole of MgCl2 = 2 moles

Therefore, 2 moles of MgCl2 are present in 8 L of 0.25 M MgCl2 solution
