Scientists use carbon-14 to date ancient fossils.

Plants and animals absorb carbon-14 produced by cosmic rays. The ratio of C-14 to C-12 is constant when they are alive.

When they die, the C-14 decays to C-12, and the ratio changes.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years. Thus, the object loses half its C-14 every 5730 years.

Scientists can use the C-14 to C-12 ratio to date fossils up to 70 000 years old.

the empirical formula for a compound used as a green paint pigment is C2H3As3Cu2O8. The molar mass of its molecular formula was
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Molecular formula = C₄H₆As₆Cu₄O₁₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Empirical formula = C₂H₃As₃Cu₂O₈

Molar mass of compound = 1013 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass  of C₂H₃As₃Cu₂O₈ is 506.897 g/mol

by putting values.

n = 1013 / 506.897

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 (C₂H₃As₃Cu₂O₈)

Molecular formula = C₄H₆As₆Cu₄O₁₆
