In living things, the source of the carbon-14 that is used in radiocarbon dating is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Living things inhale oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is why the air and atmosphere are so full of it.

A compound distributes between benzene (solvent 1) and water (solvent 2) with a distribution coefficient, K = 2.7. If 1.0g of th

mote1985 [20]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Solvent 1 = benzene, Solvent 2 = water

$K_{p}$ = 2.7, $V_{S_{2}}$ = 100 mL

$V_{S_{1}}$ = 10 mL, weight of compound = 1 g

Extract = 3

Therefore, calculate the fraction remaining as follows.

$f_{n} = [1 + K_{p}(\frac{V_{S_{2}}}{V_{S_{1}}})]^{-n}$

= $[1 + 2.7(\frac{100}{10})]^{-3}$

= $(28)^{-3}$

= $4.55 \times 10^{-5}$

Hence, weight of compound to be extracted = weight of compound - fraction remaining

= 1 - $4.55 \times 10^{-5}$

= 0.00001

or, = $1 \times 10^{-5}$

Thus, we can conclude that weight of compound that could be extracted is $1 \times 10^{-5}$ .

"what is the concentration of positive charge and mass in rutherford's atomic model called?"

Tamiku [17]

The concentration of positive charge and mass in Rutherford's atomic model is called the nucleus. Rutherford's experiments involving the use of alpha particle beams directed onto thin metal foils demonstrated the existence of the nucleus. The nucleus of an atom contains positively charge particles called protons and other uncharged particles called neutrons. According to this model most volume of an atom is made up of an empty space.
