A researcher claims that an ancient scroll originated from greek scholars in about 500 bce. a measure of its carbon-14 decay rat
e gives a value that is 89% of that found in living organisms. how old is the scroll? (the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 yr.) express the time in years as an integer.
The amount of substance present in a certain object with a given half-life in terms of h can be expressed through the equation,
A(t) = (A(o))(0.5)^(t/h)
where A(t) is the amount of substance after t years and A(o) is the original amount. In this item we are given that A(t)/A(o) is equal to 0.89. Substituting the known values,
the volume of a give gas simple is directly propotional assolute temperature at constant pressure .the volume of a gavi. amount of gass is inversely propotional ot Its pressure when temperature is help constant
