Carbon-14 dating assumes that the carbon dioxide on earth today has the same radioactive content as it did centuries ago. if thi

s is true, the amount of 14c absorbed by a tree that grew several centuries ago should be the same as the amount of 14c absorbed by a tree growing today. a piece of ancient charcoal contains only 20% as much of the radioactive carbon as a piece of modern charcoal. how long ago was the tree burned to make the ancient charcoal? (the half-life of 14c is 5715 years. round to the nearest year.)

Half-life is a first-order reaction which means the rate of decay is constant. Using the supplied value of the half-life of 14c (5715 years), and that the <span>piece of ancient charcoal contains only 20% as much of the radioactive carbon as a piece of modern charcoal, the calculated "age" or timespan when the tree got burned is </span>13269.819062281 or simply, 13270 years ago.

Dinitrogen tetraoxide, a colorless gas, exists in equilibrium with nitrogen dioxide, a reddish brown gas.
viktelen [127]

Explanation:

N2O4(g)  <----------> 2NO2(g)

Before proceeding,

A chemical equilibrium can be defined as a condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs.

Statement 1.

This statement is false. Equilibrium is not about equal concentrations but rather zero change in concentration of the reactants and products.

Statement 2.

This statement is True in chemical equilibrium; the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates.

Statement 3.

This statement is False. The rate constant for the forward reaction is not equal to the rate constant of the reverse reaction.

Statement 4.

The concentration of NO2 divided by the concentration of N2O4 is NOT equal to a constant. To obtain a constant value irregardless of the concentrations, the concentration of NO2 must be squared. This comes from the stoichiometry of the reaction

Kc= [NO2]2 / [N2O4]

This statement is false.

What happens in cellular respiration?
Alecsey [184]
Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid.
