Carbon -14 and Carbon 12 are the two substances geologists use in radiocarbon dating.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Radiocarbon dating denotes the determination process of the age of fossils of plants or animals based on the ratio of carbon atoms 14 to 12. Carbon naturally exists in two non-radioactive isotopes, Carbon-12 and Carbon-13 and one radioactive isotope carbon 14. The carbon 14 gets released on continuous cosmic reaction with atmospheric nitrogen.

These carbon 14 will be absorbed by the living plants and from the plants. Then, it will enter inside the animals which consume the plants. But once the plants and animals died, they ceased to intake carbon-14. In their living state, the ratios of carbon atoms 14 to 12 in them tends to similar to the ratio in atmosphere.

But after they die, the ratio of C-14 to C-12 will be varying from the ratio of C-14 to C-12 in atmosphere as the concentration of C-14 will be decreasing in the dead animals and plants. Thus using this ratio, geologists can find the fossil's age.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

C)  0.75 mol.

Explanation:

  • Molarity is defined as the no. of moles of solute dissolved in 1.0 L of the solution.

So, The molar concentration of sucrose in a can of soda is 0.375 M means that: every 1.0 L of sucrose contains 0.375 mol of sucrose.

∴ 2 liter bottle of soda of the same concentration contains (2 * 0.375 mol = 0.75 mol) of sucrose.

<em>Thus, the right choice is: C)  0.75 mol.</em>

A chef plans to mix 100% vinegar with italian dressing. the italian dressing contains 13% vinegar. the chef wants to make 150 mi
charle [14.2K]
To determine the volume of both concentration of vinegar, we need to set up two equations since we have two unknowns. 

For the first equation, we do a mass balance:

mass of 100% vinegar + mass of 13% vinegar = mass of 42% vinegar

Assuming they have the same densities, then we can write this equation in terms of volume.

V(100%) + V(13%) = V(42%)
   we let x = V(100%)
             y = V(13%)

x + y = 150

For the second equation, we do a component balance:

1.00x + .13y = 150(.42)
x + .13y = 63

The two equations are
x + y = 150
x + .13y = 63

Solving for x and y,
x = 50
y = 100

Therefore, you need to mix 50 mL of the 100% vinegar and 100 mL of the 13% vinegar.
