Answer is: A. the rate of decay for certain isotopes.

For example, radiocarbon dating is called Carbon-14 dating.

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon, with a half-life of 5730 years.

Carbon bound in fossil fuels has different isotopes than carbon in atmosphere. Fossil fuels are underground and cosmic rays do not affect carbon in them same as atmosphere carbon. Carbon in fossil fuels that is underground longer than ten thousand years has only C-12 isotope and not C-14.

Chemistry Lab Question: Filtration
tatyana61 [14]

For the first question, salt is soluble while sand is insoluble or not dissolvable in water. The salt should have vanished or melted, but the sand stayed noticeable or visible, making a dark brown solution probably with some sand particles caught on the walls of the container when the boiling water was put in to the mixture of salt and sand. The solubility of a chemical can be disturbed by temperature, and in the case of salt in water, the hot temperature of the boiling water enhanced the salt's capability to melt in it.

For the second question, the melted or dissolved salt should have easily made its way through the filter paper and into the second container, while the undissolved and muddy sand particles is caught on the filter paper. The size of the pores of the filter paper didn’t change. On the contrary, the size of the salt became smaller because it has been dissolved which is also the reason why it was able to go through the filter paper, while the size of the sand may have doubled or even tripled which made it harder to pass through.

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures
quester [9]

I don't know what the problem is, but here are some rues to help you out:

  1. All non-zero figures are significant
  2. When a zero falls between non-zero digits, that zero is significant.
  3. When a zero falls after a decimal point, that zero is significant.
  4. When multiplying and dividing significant figures, the answer is limited to the number of sig figs equal to the least number of sig figs in the problem.
  5. When adding and subtracting, the answer is limited to the number of decimal places in the number with the least number of decimal places.
