The time taken by Carbon-14 to decay radioactively from 120g to 112.5g is 22,920 years.
<h3>How do we calculate the total time of decay?</h3>
Time required for the whole radioactive decay of any substance will be calculated by using the below link:
T = (n)(t), where
- t = half life time = 5730 years
- n = number of half life required for the decay
Initial mass of Carbon-14 = 120g
Final mass of Carbon-14 = 112.5g
Left mass = 120 - 112 = 7.5g
Number of required half life for this will be:
- 1: 120 → 60
- 2: 60 → 30
- 3: 30 → 15
- 4: 15 → 7.5
4 half lives are required, now on putting values we get
T = (4)(5730) = 22,920 years
Hence required time for the decay is 22,920 years.

Answer:
66 g of CO₂
Solution:
The Balance Chemical Reaction is as follow,
C₂H₂ + 5/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + H₂O
Or,
2 C₂H₂ + 5 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 2 H₂O ------- (1)
Step 1: Find out the limiting reagent as;
According to Equation 1,
56.1 g (2 mole) C₂H₂ reacts with = 160 g (5 moles) of O₂
So,
125 g of C₂H₂ will react with = X g of O₂
Solving for X,
X = (125 g × 160 g) ÷ 56.1 g
X = 356.5 g of O₂
It means for total combustion of Ethylene we require 356.5 g of O₂, but we are only provided with 60.0 g of O₂. Therefore, O₂ is the limiting reagent and will control the yield.
Step 2: Calculate Amount of CO₂ produced as;
According to Equation 1,
160 g (5 mole) O₂ produces = 176 g (4 moles) of CO₂
So,
60.0 g of O₂ will produce = X g of CO₂
Solving for X,
X = (60.0 g × 176 g) ÷ 160 g
X = 66 g of CO₂
