Answer:
The age of the sample is 4224 years.
Explanation:
Let the age of the sample be t years old.
Initial mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact = 100%
Initial mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = ![[A_o]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_o%5D)
Final mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact t years = 60%
Final mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = ![[A]=0.06[A_o]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D0.06%5BA_o%5D)
Half life of the carbon-14 = 
![[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D%5BA_o%5D%5Ctimes%20e%5E%7B-kt%7D)
![[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D%5BA_o%5D%5Ctimes%20e%5E%7B-%5Cfrac%7B0.693%7D%7Bt_%7B1%2F2%7D%7D%5Ctimes%20t%7D)
![0.60[A_o]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{5730 year}\times t}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.60%5BA_o%5D%3D%5BA_o%5D%5Ctimes%20e%5E%7B-%5Cfrac%7B0.693%7D%7B5730%20year%7D%5Ctimes%20t%7D)
Solving for t:
t = 4223.71 years ≈ 4224 years
The age of the sample is 4224 years.
One kilogram is equal to one thousand grams. Further, one gram is equal to 1000 mg. The conversion is as shown below,
(6.285 x 10³ mg) x (1 g / 1000 mg) x (1 kg / 1000 g)
The numerical value of the operation above is 0.006285 kg.
I thought the answer is d
Answer:
C. Lose three electrons to have a full outer shell
Explanation:
Al is in Group 13 of the Periodic Table, so it has three valence electrons.
It must either lose three electrons or gain five to achieve a stable octet.
It is easier to lose three electrons than it is to gain five, so Al loses three electrons.
D. is wrong, for the same reason.
A. is wrong. If Al lost three electrons, it would be breaking into a stable inner shell.
C. is wrong. Al is a metal, so it will lose electrons in a reaction.
