CO2 is produced during respiration by mitochondria.
To know why there is more CO2 in the air that you breathe out than the CO2 which you inhale, we have to know that the carbon which we breathe out as carbon dioxide comes from the waste products (the carbon in the food we eat) like the carbohydrates, fat, and protein which converted in the body by biochemical pathways to glucose. the end products of oxidation of glucose are water and carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide which dissolved in the human blood is carried to the air in the lung by circulation before it exhales.

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
Arada [10]

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

Balance the following skeleton reaction and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents: Include the states of all reactants and
N76 [4]

Answer:

Oxidizing agent - CrO4^2-

Reducing agent- N2O

Explanation:

Let us look at the equation closely;

CrO4^2- (aq) + 3N2O(g) ------------> Cr^3+ (aq) + 3NO(g) [acidic]

The reduction half equation is;

CrO4^2- (aq) + 3e -------->Cr^3+ (aq)

Oxidation half equation is;

3N2O(g) ------>3 NO(g) +3 e

Note that the oxidizing agent participates in the reduction half equation while the reducing agent participates in the oxidation half equation as seen above.
