An archaeologist discovered some charcoal at an excavation site. He sent the samples to a lab for C-14 dating, knowing that the

half-life of C-14 is approximately 5,600 years. The lab reported that the charcoal had 1/8 the amount of C-14 in it that a living sample would have. How many years old
was the charcoal?
A. 700 years
B. 1,867 years
C. 8,400 years
D. 16,800 years
E. 44,800 years

Here we assume that disintegration has occur so the normal t½ formular will not be used
mathematically we..⅛×5600 =700
therefore it is about 700years option A

An element crystallizes in a face-centered cubic lattice. If the length of an edge of the unit cell is 0.408 nm, and the density
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Au

Explanation:

For the density of a face-centered cubic:

Density = \dfrac{4 \times M_w}{N_A \times a^3}

where

M_w = molar mass of the compound

N_A= avogadro's constant

a^3 = the volume of a unit cell

Given that:

Density (\rho) = 19.30 g/cm³

a = 0.408 nm

a = 0.408 \times 10^{-9} \times 10^{2} \ cm

a = 4.08 \times 10^ {-8} \ cm

∴

19.3 = \dfrac{4 \times M_w}{(6.023 \tmes 10^{23})\times (4.08 \times 10^{-8})^3}

M_w= \dfrac{19.3\times (6.023 \times 10^{23})\times (4.08 \times 10^{-8})^3}{4}

M_w=197.37 \ g/mol

Thus, the molar mass of 197.37 g/mol element is Gold (Au).

Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to air
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.

Explanation:

The half-life time = the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value. Half of it's value = 50%.

To calculate the half-life time we use the following equation:

[At]=[Ai]*e^(-kt)

with [At] = Concentration at time t

with [Ai] = initial concentration

with k = rate constant

with t = time

We want to know the half-life  time = the time needed to have 50% of it's initial value

50 = 100 *e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^- * t)

50/100 = e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 * t)

ln (0.5) = 8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 *t

t= ln (0.5) / -8.7 *10^-3  = 79.67 seconds

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.
