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 $1 \times 10^{-5}$ .
