A mammoth skeleton has a carbon-14 decay rate of 0.49 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon (0.49 dis/min⋅gC ). You may

want to reference (Pages 950 - 955) section 20.6 while completing this problem. Part A When did the mammoth live? (Assume that living organisms have a carbon-14 decay rate of 15.3 dis/min⋅gC and that carbon-14 has a half-life of 5715 yr.)

Answer:

t = 28379.5 years

Explanation:

<u>To find when did the mammoth live, we need to use the exponential decay equation</u>:          

\frac{N_{t}}{N_{0}}= \frac{1}{2}^ \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}  

<em />

<em>where, </em><em>N(t)/N(0): ratio decay rate, t: time to find, t(1/2): half-life</em><em> </em>

   

\frac{0.49}{15.3} = \frac{1}{2}^ \frac{t}{5715}  

Log(0.032) = \frac{t}{5715} \cdot Log(0.5)

t= \frac {5715 \cdot Log(0.032)}{Log(0.5)}  

t= 28379.5 years

Have a nice day!

Is it the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that
kvasek [131]

Yes, it is the power of material evidence that wins.

  • Evidence used to support or refute a scientific theory or hypothesis is known as material evidence.
  • Evidence is also used by scientists in various contexts, such as when they apply ideas to real-world issues.
  • Whether a person accepts the data as proof depends on their presumptions or views regarding how observations relate to a theory.
  • A creative hypothesis is developed by a scientist and may be refuted by testing it against evidence or established truths.
  • Evidence can refute a hypothesis by demonstrating facts that are at odds with it. In contrast, the presence of evidence does not preclude the possibility of future, undiscovered evidence supporting the idea.

Therefore, it is the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that

proves an answer in Science.

Answer:

Atoms are indivisible

I had a hard time finding this out.

Explanation: Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe all matter in terms of atoms and their properties. Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. The first part of his theory states that all matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.

How are the carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycles vital to sustaining life on Earth?. a.. Carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen are vital c
kumpel [21]

The correct answer is (D)


All the above are reasons the carbon , oxygen, and nitrogen cycles are vital to life on earth.


The explanation:


because :


1) Carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen are vital components of life on Earth.


2) The carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycles allow vital elements to return to usable form by organisms.


3)The carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycles are an important interface between biotic and abiotic factors


4) They are all biogeochemical cycles.


5) They all involve an interaction between living and nonliving elements.

6)They are all part of the Earth system.

If i add 25 mL of water to 125 mL of a 0.15 M NaOH solution, what will the molarity of the diluted solution be ?
marshall27 [118]
1000 mL=1L

25 mL = 0.025 L
125 mL = 0.125 L

M1V1=M2V2
0.15(0.125) = M2(0.025)
0.01875 = M2(0.025)
0.75 = M2

0.75 M
