How do knowing the half-life of carbon 14 can tell scientists the absolute age of a rock sample

Chemistry
1 answer:
katrin [286]3 years ago
7 0
Carbon 14 dating makes some assumptions that are not exactly true, but likely close enough for most purposes. 1 that the ratio of carbon 13 to carbon 14 in Earth's atmosphere has not changed over the last million years. 2 that living things give zero preference to carbon 13 over carbon 14.
3 Carbon 14 dating is often unreliable for rocks which have low carbon content, such as quartz, and some other assumptions.

Use the image above and describe the
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

If you see in the image above, there is an unbalance force applied while playing tug of war. Since it is 1 vs 2, there is a greater net force in the right side then the left side. If it was 2 vs 2 or 1 vs 1, then they are appling balance force. You can also see in the picture that the arrows are pointing outwards (--->) rather then inwards (<---) because you are pulling the rope not pushing the rope. If you add one person on the left side, then the newtons which is 20N will become to 35N and will be balanced, but since there in only 1 person, there is less force on the left side, the newtons gets subtracted having only 20N. Since you are pulling the rope, the friction is opposite (<---). Since you are pulling the rope, you are using Kinetic force and the rope stays in potential force since it stays constant.

Hope this helps, thank you :) and I am not sure about magnitude I think you can that since there is greater force on the right side, there is more magnitude there.

Describe a method to calculate the average atomic mass of the sample in the previous question using only the atomic masses of li
alexira [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate their average atomic masses which is otherwise known as the relative atomic mass, we simply multiply the given abundances of the atoms and the given atomic masses.

The abundace is the proportion or percentage or fraction by which each of the isotopes of an element occurs in nature.

This can be expressed below:

        RAM = Σmₙαₙ

where mₙ is the mass of isotope n

           αₙ is the abundance of isotope n

for this problem:

RAM of Li = m₆α₆ + m₇α₇

       m₆ is mass of isotope Li-6

        α₆ is the abundance of isotope Li-6

       m₇ is mass of isotope Li-7

        α₇ is the abundance of isotope Li-7

Calculate the p value of each ion indicated:
Nataliya [291]
27/208  = normality

12 x 10^-2 approx  = normality

nw Ka = 14.3 x 10^-3

pKa = 3 - log 14

now, after getting the pKa put it in formula  :
pH = pKa + log concn of ion/concn of salt and you'll get it

hope this helps

Calculate the osmotic pressure of 20 m solution of <br> LiCl at 25C
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

979 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the osmotic pressure, you need to use the following equation:

π = <em>i </em>MRT

In this equation,

-----> π = osmotic pressure (atm)

-----><em> i</em> = van't Hoff's factor (number of dissolved ions)

-----> M = Molarity (M)

-----> R = Ideal Gas constant (0.08206 L*atm/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

When LiCl dissolves, it dissociates into two ions (Li⁺ and Cl⁻). Therefore, van't Hoff's factor is 2. Before plugging the given values into the equation, you need to convert Celsius to Kelvin.

<em>i </em>= 2                             R = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

M = 20 M                    T = 25°C + 273.15 = 298.15 K

π = <em>i </em>MRT

π = (2)(20 M)(0.08206 L*atm/mol*K)(298.15 K)

π = 979 atm
