Answer:

12.5%

Explanation:

Initial percentage of carbon 14 = 100%

Final percentage = ?

Time passed = 17.1 * 1000 years = 17100 years

Half life of carbon 14 = 5,730 years.

So how many Half lives are in 17100 years?

Number of Half lives = Time passed /  Half life = 3.18 ≈ 3

First Half life;

100% --> 50%

Second Half life;

50% --> 25%

Third Half life ;

25% --> 12.5%

Answer:

transferred

Energy

Explanation:

Energy is the ability to change the state of bringing about a work leading to movement or generating electromagnetic radiation. There are actually many forms of energy. So, kinetic energy is a form of energy related to the movement of a body. The combustion, in turn, retrieves the potential energy chemical contained in fuels. Solar panels capture light energy to transform it into electrical energy.

Bromine vs Chlorine | Br vs Cl

 

Halogens are group VII elements in the periodic table, and all are electronegative elements and have the capability to produce -1 anions.

Bromine

Bromine is denoted by the symbol Br. This is in the 4th period of the periodic table between chlorine and iodine halogens. Its electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p5. The atomic number of bromine is 35. Its atomic mass is 79.904. Bromine staChlorine is an element in the periodic table which is denoted by Cl.  It is a halogen (17th group) in the 3rd period of the periodic table. The atomic number of chlorine is 17; thus, it has seventeen protons and seventeen electrons. Its electron configuration is written as 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5. Since the p sub level should have 6 electrons to obtain the Argon, noble gas electron configuration, chlorine has the ability to attract an electron. ys as a red-brown color liquid at room temperature.

Question 2: Heat (5 points)
Ronch [10]

Answer:

(i) specific heat

(ii) latent heat of vaporization

(iii) latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

i. Q = mcΔT; identify c.

Here, Q is heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat and ΔT is the change in temperature.

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of substance of mass 1 kg by 1 degree C is known as the specific heat.  

ii. Q = mLvapor; identify Lvapor

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg liquid into 1 kg vapor at constant temperature.  

iii. Q = mLfusion; identify Lfusion

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of fusion.  

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg solid  into 1 kg liquid at constant temperature.
