The Half life is the time taken for a radioisotope or a radioactive substance to decay by half its original amount. The half life of carbon 14 is 5600 years. 
Original mass is 100%
Remaining amount is 24% 
Therefore; 0.24 = 1 × (1/2)^n
                     n = log 0.24/log 0.5
                        = 2.06
therefore, the age of the fossil is 5600×2.06
 = 11529.8 
 ≈ 11529 years

Which of these statements best explains why chemistry is reliable?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

It gives the same result when an experiment is repeated.

Explanation:

Below are the possible answers to the question:

<em>It is biased. </em>

<em>It cannot be verified. </em>

<em>It cannot add new evidence to existing evidence. </em>

<em>It gives the same result when an experiment is repeated.</em>

<em />

<em>The correct answer would be that </em><em>it gives the same result when an experiment is repeated.</em>

If a reaction is conducted in chemistry and certain results are obtained, once a detailed procedure of the experiment is known along with all the chemicals involved, such reaction/experiment can be repeated anywhere in the world and the same result would be obtained.

<u>The repeatability of experiments always makes the experiments to be reliable.</u> Hence, chemistry is reliable because it gives the same result without any variation when experiments are repeated under similar conditions.
