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.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

[HF]₀ = 0.125M

Explanation:

NaOH + HF => NaF + H₂O

Adding 20ml of 0.200M NaOH into 25ml of HF solution neutralizes 0.004 mole of HF leaving 0.004 mole NaF in 0.045L with 0.001M H⁺ at pH = 3.   This is 0.089M NaF and 0.001M HF remaining.

=> 45ml of solution with pH = 3 and contains 0.089M NaF from titration becomes a common ion problem.

                HF  ⇄    H⁺    +      F⁻

C(eq)       [HF]     10⁻³M      0.089M (<= soln after adding 20ml 0.200M NaOH)

Ka = [H⁺][F⁻]/[HF]₀ => [HF]₀ = [H⁺][F⁻]/Ka

[HF]₀ = (0.001)(0.089)/(7.1 x 10⁻⁴) M = 0.125M

What geopolitical process returns carbon to the atmosphere in the from of carbon dioxide
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Recall that plants use water, atmospheric carbon dioxide, and energy from the sun to build their organic framework through photosynthesis. Therefore, plants draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide as part of their life habit. When plants die, the organic matter is oxidized and carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere.
