Most problems are not so simple. To solve more general carbon-dating problems, you must first find the value of the decay consta

nt for 14C, so that you can easily use the decay equation.
Using the given half-life, 5730 years, find the value of the decay constant for 14C.

Answer:

Half-life = 1.21x10⁻⁴ years⁻¹

Explanation:

The kinetics decay of ¹⁴C follows the first order reaction. That means half-life of ¹⁴C is defined as:

Half-life = ln 2 / K

<em>Where K is decay constant.</em>

<em />

As decay constant of ¹⁴C is 5730 years, half-life is:

Half-life = ln 2 / 5730 years

<em>Half-life = 1.21x10⁻⁴ years⁻¹</em>

During the charging process, the allied liquid becomes gas. What happens to particles in the liquid
lisov135 [29]

Answer: The particles need energy to overcome the attractions between them. As the liquid gets warmer more particles have sufficient energy to escape from the liquid. Eventually even particles in the middle of the liquid form bubbles of gas in the liquid.

Which three of the following statements accurately describe the blood buffering system in humans? The blood buffering system...
ikadub [295]

Answer:

b) maintains the pH of blood near 7.4.

c) regulates the blood pH at 7.4 +/- one pH unit.

f) is facilitated by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which interconverts carbon dioxide and water to carbonic acid (ionizes into bicarbonate and H^+).

Explanation:

The pH of human blood is slightly acidic i. e. 7.4. The enzyme carbonic anhydrase is responsible for the regulation to neutral and prevent it from acidic. the enzyme carbonic anhydrase helps in the conversion of carbon dioxide to carbonic acid and bicarbonate ions. When the blood reach to lungs, the bicarbonate ions convert back to CO2 and this carbondioxide is exhaled from the body.
