The half life for C14 is 5730 years.

We assume that Carbon 14/ Carbon 12 ratio was steady for living organisms over time, the problem is actually telling us that
\frac{Nt}{N0} = 0.0725 = \frac{1}{2}ˣ

Take the natural logarithm and In on both sides.
ln(0.725) = ln\frac{1}{2}ˣ
= - 0.3216 = xln (\frac{1}{2} = -0.6931x.
So x = (-.3216) / (-0.6931) = 0.464
or

t/t₁/₂ = 0.464
So t = 0.464 x t₁/₂ = 0.464 * 5730 yrs = 2660 years.

Will the water level of the sea increase when there is global warming
alexdok [17]
Global warming will cause see levels to rise since a lot of water is stored in ice sheets which will melt.  All of the melt water will end up in the ocean causing sea levels to rise.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Predict how many H1 NMR signals (individual resonances, not counting splitting) are expected for the compound.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

3 H1 NMR signals

Explanation:

NB: kindly check the diagram of the chemical compound in the attached picture.

This particular Question is based on the part of chemistry which is known as spectroscopy. Spectroscopy is used in the Determination or in identifying chemical compounds. H'NMR works on the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance.

In order to solve this question, one has to count the number of hydrogen in unique location. The diagram in the attached show how hydrogen is been counted.

The numbers of signals is the number of different chemical environments in which hydrogen atoms are located.

NB: signals is also the same as peak in H'NMR.

Hence, the number of H1 NMR signals in this chemical compound is 3.
