Use Table 1 below to answer the following question: Scientists find a piece of wood that is thought to be from an ancient fire c

ircle. They find that the wood contains an amount of carbon-14 (14C) that is approximately 1/16 of the current atmospheric C14 levels.
If you started with 1 million carbon-14 atoms, how many atoms would remain in the wood? C14 has a t1/2 of 5,750 years. (Only use numbers in your answer)

     1                           5750                          .....                          5,00,000

     2                          11500                         .....                          2,50,000          

     3                          17250                         .....                          1,25,000
 
     4                           23000                        .....                            62,500

Since, wood sample contained 1/16 of current atmospheric concentration of 14C. It means that sample has crossed 4 half-life. Number atoms left are 4 half life = 62,500

What is the similarity between teeth and eggshells?
topjm [15]

Explanation:

Because they share a similar composition, similar chemicals affect their structures in positive or negative ways. For example, fluoride – a staple in many dental practices – strengthens both enamel and eggshells and helps protect them from acids. Acids weaken and break down both substances. Scientists find this particularly concerning given that the ocean is growing increasingly acidic. They fear this may weaken the eggs of some marine species and harm their chance of survival. Most dentists recommend limiting aggressively acidic foods and beverages such as soft drinks.

Rank the solutions below in order of increasing acidity. (Drag and drop into the appropriate area)
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

0.1 M NaOH, 3 M NH3, 0.01 M CH3COOH, 0.01 M H2SO4, 0.1 M HCl

Explanation:

Strong acids are more acids than weak acids. In the same way, strong bases are more basic than weak bases that are in the same concentration.

Then, the more concentrated acid or base will be more acidic or basic.

CH3COOH. Weak acid

NaOH. Strong base

H2SO4. Strong acid

NH3. Weak base.

HCl. Strong acid

The less acid (More basic):

<h3>0.1 M NaOH, 3 M NH3, 0.01 M CH3COOH, 0.01 M H2SO4, 0.1 M HCl</h3>

Strong base, weak base, weak acid, diluted strong acid, undiluted strong acid
