1/2=5750 years, 1/2(1/2)=1/4, (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)=1/8, (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)=1/6
4 halflives have passed so 4(5750)=23000 years since the tree was chopped down
1000000 atoms (1/2)=500000 atoms(1/2)=250000(1/2)=125000(1/2)=62500 atoms would remain in the wood after 4 halflives
Dinosaurs became extinct around 62 million years ago, so if 14C's half life has a value of 5750 years, it would be gone or in such small amounts that dating would be ineffective today.
As Potassium decays into Argon in 1.3 billion years, apart from volcanic activity, it would enable geologists to effectively date things that are really, really, really old.
Answer: 429 grams of 
should be added to 1.3 L of water to prepare 2.0 M solution
Explanation:
Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.
where,
n = moles of solute = 
= volume of solution in Liters
Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get
Therefore, 429 grams of should be added to 1.3 L of water to prepare 2.0 M solution
Answer: 1. The solvent in a mixture of gases is generally considered to be the substance in greater amount. 2. The solid dissolved in a solution is known as the solute. 3. Solid solutions are called alloys.
Explanation:
A binary solution is made up of two components ,called as solute and another as solvent.
A solute is defined as the component which is present in smaller proportion. It can be in solid, liquid or gaseous phase. A solvent is defined as the component which is present in larger proportion in a solution. It can be in solid, liquid or gaseous phase.
Usually in liquid solutions , solid acts as solute and liquid acts as solvent. For example: In salt solution, salt is the solute and water is the solvent.
Solid solutions contains solid as solute and solid as solvent. These are called as alloys. For example : In brass, zinc is the solute and copper is the solvent.
