Answer:

25 g of an element will remain in  the sample.

Explanation:

Initial mass of an element = N_o = 200 g

Final mass of an elemnt after time ,t = N

t = 30 days

Half life of an element =t_{\frac{1}{2}=10 days

\lambda=\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{10 days}=0.0693 days^{-1}

\log[N]=\log[N_o]-\frac{\lambda t}{2.303}

\log[N]=\log[200 g]-\frac{0.0693 days ^{-1}\times 30 days}{2.303}

N = 25.01 49 g ≈ 25 g

25 g of an element will remain in  the sample.

N=N₀*2^(-t/T)

N₀=200 g
T=10 d
t=30 d

N=200*2^(-30/10)=25 g

25 g will remain

Describe the characteristics of the moon and the Earth for each phase of the
Yuri [45]
Before we describe the phases of the Moon, let's describe what they're not. Some people mistakenly believe the phases come from Earth's shadow cast on the Moon. Others think that the Moon changes shape due to clouds. These are common misconceptions, but they're not true. Instead, the Moon's phase depends only on its position relative to Earth and the Sun.

The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. The Sun always illuminates one half of the Moon. Since the Moon is tidally locked, we always see the same side from Earth, but there's no permanent "dark side of the Moon." The Sun lights up different sides of the Moon as it orbits around Earth – it's the fraction of the Moon from which we see reflected sunlight that determines the lunar phase.

The radioactivity due to carbon-14 measured in a piece of a wooden casket from an ancient burial site was found to produce 20 co
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

17202.6 years

Explanation:

Activity of the living sample (Ao) = 160 counts per minute

Activity of the wood sample (A) = 20 counts per minute

Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

t= age of the artifact

From;

0.693/t1/2= 2.303/t log Ao/A

Then;

0.693/ 5730= 2.303/t log Ao/A

Substituting values;

0.693/5730= 2.303/t log (160/20)

Then we obtain;

1.209×10^-4 = 2.0798/t

t= 2.0798/1.209×10^-4

Thus;

t= 17202.6 years

Therefore the artifact is 17202.6 years old.
