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.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of C3H7BO3, a gasoline additive. The products of combustion are C
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

2C₃H₇BO₃ + 8O₂ → 6CO₂ + 7H₂O + B₂O₃.

Explanation:

  • For balancing a chemical equation, we should apply the law of conversation of mass. It states that the no. of atoms in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.

So, the balanced equation:

<em>2C₃H₇BO₃ + 8O₂ → 6CO₂ + 7H₂O + B₂O₃.</em>

It is clear that 2.0 moles of C₃H₇BO₃ is completely burned in 8 m oles of oxygen and produce 6 moles of CO₂, 7 moles of H₂O and 1 mole of B₂O₃.
