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)

     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

PtichkaEL [24]
Aqueous nitric acid and aqueous ammonia reacts to form ammonium nitrate 
 HNO₃(aq)+NH₃(aq) = NH₄NO₃(aq)
 HNO₃ +NH3 = NH₄ (+) + NO₃ (-)
Therefore the net ionic equation will be;
 H⁺(aq) + NH₃ = NH₄⁺ (aq)

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Box is made up of <em>copper</em>, because density is <em>8.96  g/cm³.</em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of box = 17.63 cm³

Mass of box = 158 g

Which metal box is this = ?

Solution:

First we will calculate the density of box then we will compare it with the density value of given metals.

d = m/v

d = 158 g/ 17.63 cm³

d = 8.96  g/cm³

The calculated density is similar to the given density value of copper thus box is made up of copper.
