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.

PLEASE HELP!!<br><br> How does temperature, agitation, and particle size affect solubility?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

At higher temperatures, particles move faster and collide more, increasing solubility rates.

Agitation increases solubility rates as well, by bringing fresh solvent into contact with the undissolved solute

The smaller the particle size, the higher (faster) solubility rate. Vice versa, the bigger the particle size, the lower (slower) solubility rate.

Drag each label to the correct location on the table.
AleksAgata [21]

Explanation:

1) Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely related to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

  • When the size of the chamber is increased the volume occupied the gas will increase with which pressure exerted by the gas will decrease down.
  • When we press the inflated balloon the pressure on the gas is increased with which volume of the occupied by the gas inside the balloon decreased.

2) Charles' Law: This law states that volume occupied by the gas is directly related to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

V\propto T    (At constant pressure and number of moles)

  • The size of the balloon deceases because the in winters the temperature decreases with which volume of the gas present in the balloon also decreases.
  • When the flexible closed container is heated the temperature of the gas inside the container increases with which the volume occupied by the gas in the container will increase resulting in expanding of container.

3) Avogadro's Law: This law states that volume occupied by the gas is directly related to the number of moles of the gas at constant pressure and temperature.

V\propto n   (At constant temperature and pressure)

When we blow air into the balloon the umber of air particles increases with which the volume of the gas inside the balloon also increases resulting in increase in size of the balloon.

HELP!!!!!!PLZ!!!!!ASAP!!!!!
AfilCa [17]
It is an open series circuit and this is why:
 
its obvious its a series circuit because all the symbols are in a straight rectangle. 
its an open circuit because an open circuit has something that doesn't allow the electrons to flow all the way. and the thing blocking the electrons it the switch which is open, (off).

Hope this helped!! sorry its late!!
