Scientists found a fossilized bone from an organism at an excavation site in North Dakota. When they took the bone back to the l

ab, they realized that the bone had only 12.5% of the total carbon-14 left. Based on the amount of carbon-14 left in the bone how old is the bone if the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years?

Answer: 17328.7 years

Explanation:

Half-life of sample of carbon-14 = 5730 years

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.2\times 10^{-4} years^{-1}

N=N_o\times e^{-\lambda t}

N = amount left = 12.5 g

N_0= initial amount = 100 g

\lambda= disintegration constant= 1.2\times 10^{-4} years^{-1}

t= ?

12.5=100\times e^{-1.2\times 10^{-4}\times t}

t=17328.7years

Thus the bone is 17328.7 years old.

max2010maxim [7]
The term aerobic exercise describes any type of exercise typically performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time that increases the heart rate. In such exercise, oxygen is used to "burn" fats and glucose in order to produce energy in the form of ATP, the basic energy carrier for all cells. Initially, glycogen is broken down to produce glucose, but in its absence, fat metabolism is initiated instead. Aerobic exercise is an exercise performed at a moderately high level of intensity over a long period of time. For example, running a long distance at a moderate pace.

What are electron energy levels? Where are they located?
astraxan [27]

The electrons surrounding an atom are located in regions around the nucleus called “energy levels”. An energy level represents the 3-dimensional space surrounding the nucleus where electrons are most likely to be. The first energy level is closest to the nucleus.
