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.

jeka94

Answer:

Percent Yield = 94.237%

Explanation:

CO = Carbon Dioxide = Molar Mass 28g/mol

C = Carbon = 12g/mol

O = Oxygen = 16g/mol

Theoretical yield = 93.7 grams

Actual yield = 88.3 grams

Percent yield  = (actual yield /theoretical yield )x100

Percent Yield = (88.3/93.7)x100

Percent Yield = 94.237%
