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

How do i calculate the mass of CO2 emitted per Kj of heat produced in a combustion reaction?
Alexxandr [17]
 methanol:

1 mole CH3 OH --> produces --> 1 mole CO2 

1 mole CO2 has a molar mass of 44.01 gh/mole
 
your set up is:
(44.01 g CO2) / -726.5kJ = 0.06058g

your answer 0.06058 grams of CO2 produced per kJ released.

Which description best fits a gas? definite shape and volume; strong intermolecular attractions definite volume; shape of contai
wolverine [178]

The answer is weak intermolecular attractions volume and shape of container. The molecules of gases have high kinetic energy compared to those of liquids and solids hence they are farther apart from one another. This results to weak intermolecular forces. Gases also expand to fit the container hence have no definite shape or volume.
