A wooden artifact from an ancient tomb contains 60% of the carbon-14 that is present in living trees. How long ago was the artif

act made? (The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. Round your decay rate, r, to 6 decimal places. Then round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

The age of the sample is 4224 years.

Explanation:

Let the age of the sample be t years old.

Initial mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact = 100%

Initial mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = [A_o]

Final mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact t years = 60%

Final mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = [A]=0.06[A_o]

Half life of the carbon-14 = t_{1/2}=5730 years

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}

[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t}

0.60[A_o]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{5730 year}\times t}

Solving for t:

t = 4223.71 years ≈ 4224 years

The age of the sample is 4224 years.

Determine the rate of a reaction that follows the rate law rate = k a m b i where
ikadub [295]
(missing part of your question):
when we have K = 1 x 10^-2 and [A] = 2 M & [B] = 3M & m= 2 & i = 1
So when the rate = K[A]^m [B]^i
and when we have m + i = 3 so the order of this reaction is 3 So the unit of K is L^2.mol^-2S^-1
So by substitution:
∴ the rate = (1x 10 ^-2 L^-2.mol^-2S^-1)*(2 mol.L^-1)^2*(3mol.L^-1)
                 = 0.12 mol.L^-1.S^-1

1. Calculate the energy of a photon with a frequency of 3x1015 Hz.<br> ?????
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

1.99 x 10⁻¹⁸J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency of the wave  = 3 x 10¹⁵Hz

Unknown:

Energy of the photon  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below;

     E  = hf

Where E is the energy, h is the Planck's constant and f is the frequency

Now insert the parameters and solve for E;

     E  = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10¹⁵ = 19.9 x 10⁻¹⁹J or 1.99 x 10⁻¹⁸J

AIDS is one disease caused by a virus infection. The virus attacks immune system cells known as T cells.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

yes,its true

Explanation:

I just want to say first off

the immune cell known as T cell also known as white blood cells

Since the first main attack from the bodies response against a virus is deploying T cells to attack

CD4 cells are the basic T cells and HIV virus which is AIDS will start to "Eat itself inside" Ofc not they will use protein spikes to form their way in

they start to create copies of themselves inside the T cell itself and creating a new protein called Env to form their ways in ofc

They are able to bypass CD4 cells is because its a basic cellular receptor for T cells making them really deadly

They now will start to attack other white cells and deploying more and more of their virus cells
