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.

How are salinity, temperature and circulation related?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Salinity, along with temperature, determines the density of seawater, and hence its vertical flow patterns in thermohaline circulation. 2. Salinity records the physical processes affecting a water mass when it was last at the surface. Hope this helps!

What are the formal charges of both chlorines and iodine in icl2?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

 Formal charge of ICl₂⁻

Formal charge = group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)

In I there are 7 electrons in outermost orbit . If we add one more electrons due to - ve charge on the ion , it becomes eight . This centrally placed iodine forms two single bond with two chlorine atoms on either side.

Each of chlorine atoms also contains 7 valance electrons like iodine.

So formal charge of chlorine

= group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)

= 7 - ( 6 + 1 )

= 0

So formal charge of iodine

= group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)

= 7 - ( 5 + 2 )

=0

 Formal charge of ICl₂⁺

In this case , central iodine will have only 6 valence electrons due to absence one electron.

So formal charge of chlorine in  ICl₂⁺

= group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)

= 7 - ( 6 + 1 )

= 0

formal charge of iodine in  in   ICl₂⁺

7 - ( 4 + 2)

= 1

7.The equation below shows a process that occurs in all green plants.
pychu [463]

Answer:

Ⓓ The process follows the law of conservation of mass and energy is found in the product

Explanation:

This question depicts PHOTOSYNTHESIS, which is the process employed by green plants to manufacture their food in form of sugars (glucose). The general equation, which was given in the question is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O + energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

This chemical reaction follows the LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS, which states that the amount of matter in reactant must equate that of the product. In this case, each element contains the same number of atoms in both reactant side and product side.

Also, energy is contained in the product but stored in the chemical bonds of the glucose molecule formed.
