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

What is the relationship between an atom and a molecule?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Atoms are given a different weight based on the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in the surrounding cloud. The same electromagnetic force that keeps a single atom together can also hold two or more atoms together to form a molecule, while numerous molecules join together to form matter.Apr 25, 2017

How many moles of copper atoms are in 150g of copper metal
djyliett [7]
The answer to this question would be: 2.36 mol

To answer this question, you need to know the molecular weight of copper. Molecular weight determines how much the weight of 1 mol of a molecule has. Copper molecular weight about 63.5g/mol. Then, the amount of mol in 150g copper should be: 150g / (63.5g/mol)= 2.36 mol
