Scientists use radioactive decay to date fossils and artifacts through a process called "carbon dating," which measures the amount of carbon still left in a dead object. The less carbon that exists, the longer that animal or plant as been dead.

Determine which of these properties would distinguish these two substances: (a) boiling point; (b) combustion analysis results;
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(a) boiling point

(d) density at a given temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. They differ in chemical and physical properties depending on the type of isomerism displayed by the compounds.

The compounds stated here are structural or constitutional isomers hence they possess different boiling points and densities at a given temperature and pressure owing to structural differences in the molecules.

Since they have the same molecular formula, they must yield the same result during combustion analysis and they must have the same molecular weight.

Two compounds are standing at the same temperature. Compound "A" is evaporating more slowly than compound "
Tju [1.3M]
I believe the answer is compound B may have a lower molecular weight compared to compound A. 
At the same temperature, lighter particles of a compound have a higher average speeds than do heavier particles of another compound. Thus, particles of compound B are lighter than those of compound A and thus they have a higher average speed, hence evaporating faster compared to compound A.
