<u>Answer:</u> The sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %
<u>Explanation:</u>
The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:
where,
= half life of the reaction = 5730 years
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:
![k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%3D%5Cfrac%7B2.303%7D%7Bt%7D%5Clog%5Cfrac%7B%5BA_o%5D%7D%7B%5BA%5D%7D)
where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time taken for decay process = ? yr
![[A_o]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_o%5D)
= initial amount of the sample = 100 grams
[A] = amount left after decay process = (100 - 25) = 75 grams
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %
The correct answer is the second option. During fusion, uranium atoms are fused together. Fusion reaction happens when two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to energy.
1) The history of egypt is still unclear; artifacts, how the pyramids were built, gods and whatnot.
2) Egypt's history being uncovered in regards to curses and amulets is still being practiced in the country and some others because of the great influence it had.
3) Egyptians being able to construct such grand structures that still stand (pyramids) serves as evidence that proves Egypt was a very advanced civilization at the peak of their advancement.
b. increase in surface area
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Speeding up a chemical reaction
Required
Factors used to speed up reactions
Solution
There are several factors that influence reaction kinetics :
1. Concentration
2. Surface area
3. Temperature
4. Catalyst
5. Pressure
6. Stirring
Temperature is related to the kinetic energy of the particles. Heat is absorbed causes the particles of matter to move faster so that the reaction can take place faster
The enlarged surface area of the reactants causes more particles to react with other particles.
50 g square block of sulfur can be broken into small pieces or powdered so that more particles come into contact with each other
The unit is the Kelvin, but most of the time 273 is subtracted from the Kelvin temperature and the new number is called "degrees Celsius".
