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

Answer:

17.04%

Explanation:

Actual Value = 173.1

Measured Value = 143.6

Percent error is obtained using the equation;

Percent error = (Measured - Actual) / Actual ]* 100

Percent error = [ (143.6 - 173.1) / 173.1 ] * 100

The absolute value of (Measured - Actual) is taken,

Percent Error = [29.5 / 173.1 ] * 100

Percent Error = 0.1704 * 100 = 17.04%

What were the defects in Ruther Ford Atomic model?
juin [17]

the RutherFord atomic model has the limitations in explaining the stability of the atom and the stability of the electron.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • As we know basically the atom comprises of the positively charged proton and negative charge electron and no charge neutron.
  • In these particles, electron revolves with the nucleus as a centre in the orbit with the different energy levels.
  • So by this revolving action, there will be the loss of energy and thus electrons are to be falling into the nucleus which affects the stability of the electron.  
  • The atom is said to be neutral electrically if the protons and electrons are equal. So in the above case if the electrons on losing the energy if it fells into the nucleus, as a result, the stability of the atom is affected which makes the atom as ions.
