The main points of Dalton's atomic theory are: Everything is composed of atoms, which are the indivisible building blocks of matter and cannot be destroyed. All atoms of an element are identical. The atoms of different elements vary in size and mass.
B. Intake valve is the correct answer
Answer:
Age of the ancient wood object is 11460 years.
Explanation:
We know that half-life for carbon-14 is 5730 years. That means the activity of the sample will decrease to half every 5730 years.
Now we construct the following table:
activity (counts/min) age of the wooden object
40 0
20 5730
10 11460
Radioactive decay is a pseudo-first order reaction. When you know the half-life of the material, you could use this equation.
A= A₀(1/2)^t/h
where
A is the final activity
A₀ is the initial activity
t is the time
h is the half-life
A = (0.64)(1/2)^88/44 = <em>0.16 mbq</em>
