A. The radioactive decay equation is N = N0
where T is the
half-life (5730 years), N0 is the number of atoms at time t = 0 and
N is the number at time t.
Rewriting this as:
(N/N0) =
Since N = (1/8) N0 and
substituting known values:
1/8 = 
Taking ln of both
sides:
ln(1/8)= -ln(2)*t/5730
t = - 5730 * ln(1/8) /
ln (2)
t = 17,190 years
The tree was cut down 17,190
years ago.
B. N0 = 1,500,000 carbon-14 atoms
Since N = (1/8) N0
N = 187,500 carbon
atoms left
Since particles are closer together, solids conduct heat better than liquids or gases. Conduction moves heat through a material. It keeps a fire going by spreading the heat through solid material. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not require particles to carry the heat energy.
The first step in the scientific methods is ask a question
Answer:
-0.050 kJ/mol.K
Explanation:
- A certain reaction is thermodynamically favored at temperatures below 400. K, that is, ΔG° < 0 below 400. K
- The reaction is not favored at temperatures above 400. K, that is. ΔG° > 0 above 400. K
All in all, ΔG° = 0 at 400. K.
We can find ΔS° using the following expression.
ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°
0 = -20 kJ/mol - 400. K .ΔS°
ΔS° = -0.050 kJ/mol.K
It has to be D. the time needed to boil the water decreased
