<u>Given:</u>
Initial amount of carbon, A₀ = 16 g
Decay model = 16exp(-0.000121t)
t = 90769076 years
<u>To determine:</u>
the amount of C-14 after 90769076 years
<u>Explanation:</u>
The radioactive decay model can be expressed as:
A = A₀exp(-kt)
where A = concentration of the radioactive species after time t
A₀ = initial concentration
k = decay constant
Based on the given data :
A = 16 * exp(-0.000121*90769076) = 16(0) = 0
Ans: Based on the decay model there will be no C-14 left after 90769076 years
Well a question to ask would be if the mass of the material has changed significantly as that would determine that the substance is radioactive or if there have been any high readings found by a Geiger meter in certain period of time
hope that helps
Answer:
See explanation and images attached
Explanation:
a) In the mechanism for the acid catalysed esterification of propanoic acid using ethanol, we can see that the first step is the protonation of the acid followed by nucleophillic attack of the alcohol. Loss of water and consequent deprotonation regenerates the acid catalyst. We can see the fate of the 18O labelled ethanol in the mechanism shown.
b) In the second mechanism, an unnamed ester is hydrolysed using an acid catalyst. The attack of the acid and subsequent nucleophillic attack of water labelled with 18O leads to the incorporation of this 18O into the product acid as shown in the mechanism attached to this answer.
Answer:
Glaciers moving rocks and soil through a valley
Explanation:
The definition of Erosion is "the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents". Which in turn means the movement of glaciers is causing erosion on the local valley.
