Answer:

option C is correct (250 g)

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of carbon-14 = 5700 years

Total amount of sample = 1000 g

Sample left after 11,400 years = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives passes during 11,400 years.

Number of half lives = time elapsed/ half life

Number of half lives = 11,400 years/5700 years

Number of half lives = 2

Now we will calculate the amount left.

At time zero = 1000 g

At first half life = 1000 g/2 = 500 g

At second half life = 500 g/2 = 250 g

Thus, option C is correct.

Sholpan [36]
Start by writing out molar mass of each component: 

1) NaOH= 22.99+16+1.01 --> 40 

2) Na₃PO₄= (22.99)3 + 94.97 + 64 --> 227.94

3) NaNO₃= 22.99 + 14 + 48 --> 84.99 

Now compare the mass of sodium with the rest of the substances: 

1) (22.99/40)100%= 57.475%

2) (68.97/227.94)/100%= 30.25% 

3) (22.99/84.99)/100%= 27.05%

As seen, the ordered list is: Sodium hydroxide, sodium phosphate and sodium nitrate. 

Hope I helped :)

DNA can be replicated through an in vivo mechanism or a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) mechanism. Match each description to the
umka2103 [35]

Complete question from other source attached

Answer:

Explanation:

Catalyzed by DNA polymerase - both. DNA polymerase catalyzes DNA replication in the cell. However, purified versions of the enzyme are also used to synthesise DNA as part of PCR reactions

involves leading strand synthesis only - PCR. In PCR, lagging strand synthesis is not carried out because the DNA is denatured (rendered single stranded). Therefore, each strand is replicated independently by leading strand synthesis

duplicates a small fragment of the genome - PCR. Usually, to carry out PCR, small sequences called primers are used that specify the region of DNA to be replicated

duplicates the entire genome - in vivo replication - when the DNA is replicated in vivo, the entire genome is replicated. This is carried out prior to cell division so that two daughter cells can each inherit a copy of the entire genome
