When a living organism dies, it stops taking in new carbon. Thus, as the radioactive carbon-14 decays, the ratio of carbon-12 to

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: The fossil is 11459 years old.

Explanation:

Half-life of carbon-14 = 5700 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{5700\text{years}}$

$k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the age of the sample:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{years}^{-1}
t = age of sample = ?
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
x = amount decayed = 75 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 100 - 75 = 25 g Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
[tex]t==\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{25}$

$t=11459years$

The fossil is 11459 years old.

zimovet [89]

<span>There are three types of seismic waves. These are classified on the basis of their penetration in the earth's surface and their arrival to seismographs. First are primary waves, which arrive first and penetrate the deepest. Then are the secondary waves, which penetrate less and arrive after primary waves. Finally are the surface waves, which do not penetrate the earth's surface and arrive the latest.</span>

Are atoms created or destroyed in a chemical reaction? How do you know?

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

No atoms are created or destroyed in chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Matter cannot be created or destroyed. When two reactants contact each other, a chemical reaction occurs which breaks the bonds between atoms and rearranges them, forming new bonds which transform them into the product. The same amount of atoms exists before and after the reaction.
