A wooden artifact from an ancient tomb contains 60% of the carbon-14 that is present in living trees. How long ago was the artif
noname [10]

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]

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]

Half life of the carbon-14 = t_{1/2}=5730 years

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}

[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t}

0.60[A_o]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{5730 year}\times t}

Solving for t:

t = 4223.71 years ≈ 4224 years

The age of the sample is 4224 years.

Can some atoms exceed the limits of the octet rule in bonding? If so, give an example.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Yes. Example: <u>Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) molecule</u>

Explanation:

According to the octet rule, elements tend to form chemical bonds in order to have <u>8 electrons in their valence shell</u> and gain the stable s²p⁶ electronic configuration.

However, this rule is generally followed by main group elements only.

Exception: <u>SF₆ molecule</u>

In this molecule, six fluorine atoms are attached to the central sulfur atom by single covalent bonds.

<u>Each fluorine atom has 8 electrons in their valence shells</u>. Thus, it <u>follows the octet rule.</u>

Whereas, there are <u>12 electrons around the central sulfur atom</u> in the SF₆ molecule. Therefore, <u>sulfur does not follow the octet rule.</u>

<u>Therefore, the SF₆ molecule is known as a </u><u>hypervalent molecule</u><u> or expanded-valence molecule.</u>
