Answer is: 12,6% (1/8) <span>percentage of the sample will remain.
</span>c₀ - initial amount of C-14.<span>
c - amount of C-14 remaining at time.
t = 5700</span> y.<span>
First calculate the radioactive decay rate constant λ:
λ = 0,693 ÷ t = 0,693 ÷ 5700</span> y = 0,000121 1/y = 1,21·10⁻⁴ y.
c = c₀·e∧-λ·t.
c = 2000 · e∧-(0,000121 1/y · 17100 y).
c = 252 g.
ω = 252 g ÷ 2000 g = 0,126 = 12,6%.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

exothermic reaction

Explanation:

If there is a drop in temperature, then energy was lost to the surroundings because temperature is the average measure of kinetic energy. An exothermic reaction would result in this lost of energy. An endothermic reaction would absorb energy and make the temperature rise.

What are the concentrations of sugar
mariarad [96]
The easiest way to answer this question is to first figure out the molar mass of the sugar in question. To do this multiply the number of individual atoms for a given element by its atomic mass. 12 X 12.01 g/mol = 144.12 g/mol C. 22 X 1.008 g/mol = 22.176 g/mol H. 11 X 16.00 g/mol = 176.00 g/mol O.
