Answer: La Ferrassie 1
Explanation: La Ferrassie 1, often referred to as LF1, is a male Neanderthal skeleton estimated to be 70–50,000 years old. It was discovered at the La Ferrassie site in France by Louis Capitan and Denis Peyrony in 1909. The skull is the most complete Neanderthal skull ever found.
The half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years. (Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass).
Let A₀ be the initial amount of carbon-14 that is found in living matter (t=0 years), to determine when there was 44.5% of A₀ left.
44.5 = 100 × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives
0.5^n = 0.445
n = log 0.445/log 0.5
n = 1.168
But 1 half life is 5700 years
Therefore, the number of years will be 5700 × 1.168 = 6658.299725 years
≈ 6658.30 years
1. The empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is CH₃
2. The molecular formula of the hydrocarbon is C₂H₆
<h3>How to determine the mass of Carbon </h3>
- Mass of CO₂ = 1.47 g
- Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol
- Molar of C = 12 g/mol
- Mass of C =?
Mass of C = (12 / 44) × 1.47
Mass of C = 0.4 g
<h3>How to determine the mass of H</h3>
- Mass of compound = 0.5 g
- Mass of C = 0.4 g
- Mass of H = ?
Mass of H = (mass of compound) – (mass of C)
Mass of H = 0.5 – 0.4
Mass of H =0.1 g
<h3>1. How to determine the empirical formula </h3>
- C = 0.4 g
- H = 0.1 g
- Empirical formula =?
Divide by their molar mass
C = 0.4 / 12 = 0.03
H = 0.1 / 1 = 0.1
Divide by the smallest
C = 0.03 / 0.03 = 1
H = 0.1 / 0.03 = 3
Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is CH₃
<h3>2. How to determine the molecular formula</h3>
- Empirical formula = CH₃
- Molar mass = 30 g/mol
- Molecular formula =?
Molecular formula = empirical × n = mass number
[CH₃]n = 30
[12 + (3×1)]n = 30
15n = 30
Divide both side by 15
n = 30 / 15
n = 2
Molecular formula = [CH₃]n
Molecular formula = [CH₃]₂
Molecular formula = C₂H₆

It’s 5% because without the 5% you wouldn’t make it to 100 equally
