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%.

How many joules are needed to warm 675 grams of water (specific heat= 4.186 J/g degrees Celsius) from 12 degrees Celsius to 85 d
Naya [18.7K]
85-12 = 73 degrees needed
4.186 J/degree Celsius, so 
73 degrees * 4.186 J/degree = 305.578 J to raise 1 gram 73 degrees
there are 675 grams, so 305.578 * 675 = 206265.15 J

2.06 x 10^5 J are needed
