A wooden object from the site of an ancient temple has a carbon-14 activity of 10 counts/min compared with a reference piece of

wood cut today that has an activity of 40 counts/min. If the half-life for carbon-14 is 5730 y, what is the age of the ancient wood object?

Answer:

Age of the ancient wood object is 11460 years.

Explanation:

We know that half-life for carbon-14 is 5730 years. That means the activity of the sample will decrease to half every 5730 years.

Now we construct the following table:

activity (counts/min)        age of the wooden object

      40                                                  0

      20                                               5730

      10                                                11460

ollegr [7]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

because potential energy is created with the position of a body when you pick up something the thing will have stored energy which is transferred from you so the stored energy is potential energy created by the position of a body that when you see over your head you scared of that thing not to bit you because it has stored energy if you see the thing already failed on the ground you wouldn't scared of that because the enery is already gone

Will a precipitate form from Pb(NO3)2(aq) and HCl(aq)?
Rus_ich [418]
1. Write out the formula Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) ----> PbCl2 + 2HNO3 2. Use solubility guidelines (gotta memorize 'em) for the products to see if a solid forms Nitrates are always soluble so 2HNO3 (aq) Chlorides (Cl) are always soluble except for when you mix them with copper, lead, mercury, or silver. Since you mixed it with lead (Pb) it is solid and forms a precipitate. PbCl2 (s)

What is the pressure of 0.5 mol of nitrogen gas in a 5 L container at 203 K
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

=1.666 liters

Explanation:

1 mole of a has at standard temperature and pressure occupies a volume of 22.4 liters.

0.5 moles of nitrogen occupy a volume of (0.5 moles×22.4 dm³/mol)/ 1

=11.2 liters.

Standard pressure= 1 atmosphere (Atm)

Standard temperature = 273.15 Kelvin

According to Combined gas equation, P₁V₁/T₁=P₂V₂/T₂

Let us take the conditions under standard conditions as the reference, with the subscript 1 and the conditions under the 5L container to be scenario 2 with subscript 2.

Therefore P₂ =P₁V₁T₂/T₁V₂

Substituting for the values we get:

P₂= (1 atm× 11.2L ×203K)/ (273K×5L)

=1.666 atm
