<h3>
Answer:</h3>
42960 years
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Remaining mass of C-14 in a bone is 0.3125 g
- Original mass of C-14 on the bone is 80.0 g
- Half life of C-14 is 5370 years
We are required to determine the age of the bone;
- Remaining mass = Original mass × 0.5^n , where n is the number of half lives.
Therefore;
0.3125 g = 80.0 g × 0.5^n
3.90625 × 10^-3 = 0.5^n
- Introducing logarithm on both sides;
log 3.90625 × 10^-3 = n log 0.5
Solving for n
n = log 3.90625 × 10^-3 ÷ log 0.5
= 8
- Therefore, the number of half lives is 8
- But, 1 half life is 5370 years
- Therefore;
Age of the rock = 5370 years × 8
= 42960 years
Thus, the bone is 42960 years old
The number of hours required : 37.2 hours
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
⁴²K (potassium -42)
Required
The number of hours
Solution
The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.
Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.
Based on Table N(attached), the half-life for ⁴²K is 12.4 hours, which means half of a sample of ⁴²K will decay in 12.4 hours
For three half-life periods :
Answer: Diagram 4
Explanation: Diagram 1 represents a state in which particles are closely packed , thus cannot be a representation of gas.
Diagram 2 represents a state in which particles are loosely packed , thus can be a representation of gas.
Diagram 3 represents a state in which particles are closely packed , thus can be a representation of a solid.
Diagram 4 represents a state in which particles are loosely packed , thus can be a representation of gas. It also represents the particles in ionized form. Particles are existing as ions bearing positive and negative charges.
