The correct specific heat capacity of water is <em>4.187 kJ/(kg.K)</em>.

q = mCΔT

ΔT = q/mC = 87 kJ/[587.00 kg x 4.187 kJ/(kg.K)] = 87 kJ/(2547.8 kJ/K)

= 0.035 K

Ti = Tf - ΔT = 518.4 K - 0.0354 K = 518.365 K

A wooden artifact from an ancient tomb contains 60% of the carbon-14 that is present in living trees. How long ago was the artif
noname [10]

Answer:

The age of the sample is 4224 years.

Explanation:

Let the age of the sample be t years old.

Initial mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact = 100%

Initial mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = [A_o]

Final mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact t years = 60%

Final mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = [A]=0.06[A_o]

Half life of the carbon-14 = t_{1/2}=5730 years

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}

[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t}

0.60[A_o]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{5730 year}\times t}

Solving for t:

t = 4223.71 years ≈ 4224 years

The age of the sample is 4224 years.

If a patient\'s blood pressure is 145 over 65 mmHg, what is it in atmospheres (atm)
kicyunya [14]

Converting mmHg to atm is solved by division.

Example: Convert 745.0 to atm.

Solution- divide the mmHg value by the 760.0 mmHg / atm.

745 mmHg over 760.0 mmHg/atm

atm value is 0.980263

Now, I am a medical student and we have never had to convert a BP (blood pressure) to atm from mmHg, only ever kPA. SO, I am going to take a guess here and say that when you do the work to solve this, you are going to convert the Systolic (upper #) which is the 145. You should get 0.190789 and then convert the Diastolic (lower #) which is 65. You should get 0.08552632.

So your fraction so to speak should read, 0.190789/0.08552632 or 0.190789 over 0.08552632

(Just to note that is way to low of a BP, although it is irrelevant) Best wishes and good luck. "Remember, never just look for the right answer, look for why it is the right answer!"
