What is the age of mummified primate skin that contains 8.25% of the original quantity of 14C?
1 answer:
Answer:
20619.4793 years
Explanation:
The half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
The formula for the half life for a first order kinetic reaction is:
Where,
is the half life
k is the rate constant.
Thus rate constant is:
5730 years=ln(2)/k
k = 1.21×10⁻⁴ years ⁻¹
Using integrated rate law as:
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Given that the final concentration contains 8.25 % of the original quantity which means that:
So,
ln(.0825)= -1.21×10⁻⁴×t
<u>
t = 20619.4793 years </u>

Answer:
Convection, and boundaries
Explanation:
In this lab, you modeled how plates move. The plates that make up Earth’s lithosphere move because of convection . You also saw how plates interact with each other. The interactions between plates form plate boundaries of which there are three main types.
