Answer:
C. The half-life of C-14 is about 40,000 years.
Explanation:
The only false statement from the options is that the half-life of C-14 is 40,000yrs.
The half-life of an isotope is the time it takes for half of a radioactive material to decay to half of its original amount. C-14 has an half-life of 5730yrs. This implies that during every 5730yrs, C-14 will reduce to half of its initial amount.
- All living organisms contain both stable C-12 and the unstable isotope of C-14
- The lower the C-14 compared to the C-12 ratio in an organism, the older it is.
Answer:
Are basic:
[OH⁻] = 3.13x10⁻⁷M and [H₃O⁺] = 9.55x10⁻⁹M
Explanation:
A solution is basic when pH = - log [H₃O⁺] is higher than 7.
It is possible to convert [OH⁻] to [H₃O⁺] using:
[H₃O⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / [OH⁻]
a. [OH⁻] = 3.13x10⁻⁷M
[H₃O⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / [3.13x10⁻⁷M]
[H₃O⁺] = 3.19x10⁻⁸M
pH = - log [H₃O⁺] = 7.50
[OH⁻] = 3.13x10⁻⁷M is basic
b. pH = -log [H₃O⁺] = - log 0.000747M = 3.13.
This solution is not basic
c. [H₃O⁺] = 9.55x10⁻⁹M
pH = 8.02
This solution is also basic.
Answer:
1. C. take in carbon from the air. The carbon is used to make energy storage
molecules.
2. b Carbon is moving into the air and out of the air at the same time
Explanation:
Question 1:
Trees are plants, which are autotrophic organisms i.e. set of organisms that are capable of producing their own food via a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. This photosynthetic process produces sugars (glucose) in the presence of SUNLIGHT. According to this question, the sun has been up for several hours, and has been shining on these trees. This means that the trees can take in carbo dioxide (CO2) in order to perform the process of photosynthesis. Also, the number of energy storage molecules in the trees (ATP) will INCREASE.
What can the trees do because they are in sunlight? What does this mean for the ?
