Answer:
C. The half-life of C-14 is about 40,000 years.
Explanation:
The only false statement from the options is that the half-life of C-14 is 40,000yrs.
The half-life of an isotope is the time it takes for half of a radioactive material to decay to half of its original amount. C-14 has an half-life of 5730yrs. This implies that during every 5730yrs, C-14 will reduce to half of its initial amount.
- All living organisms contain both stable C-12 and the unstable isotope of C-14
- The lower the C-14 compared to the C-12 ratio in an organism, the older it is.
Answer:
Most likely N or S it might not be safe but that is what experiments do I guess.
Explanation:
One box is 120g.
mass of 126 boxes = 126*120 = 15120 g
(note: used an additional significant figure when first digit is a 1, so four significant figures)
Using the conversion 1 lb. = 453.6 g/lb
15120g = 15120 g / (453.6 g/lb) = 15120 g * (1/453.6) lb/g = 33.3 lbs. (3 significant figures)
Law of multiple proportions, statement that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
