Why is it true to say that exhaled air is acidic?​

Biology
1 answer:
Reil [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Because it contains carbonic acid

Explanation:

Carbonic acid is made from dissolving carbon dioxide in water. Since carbon dioxide is exhaled in the lungs, and the exhaled air is moist due to the presence of water molecules from the alveoli, then the carbon dioxide gas will be dissolved in the exhaled air’s moisture rendering it  slightly acidic.

While alive, an organism absorbs (radioactive) carbon 14 at such a rate that the proportion of carbon 14 in the organism remains
Inga [223]

Answer:

The person has been dead for approximately 15,300 years

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • The half-life of carbon 14 is 5,600 years
  • The human skeleton level of carbon 14 is 15% that of a living human

To answer this question we can make use of the following equation

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁

Where,

  • C14 T₀ ⇒ Amount of carbon in a living body at time 0 = 100%
  • C14T₁ ⇒ Amount of carbon in the dead body at time 1 = 15%
  • λ ⇒ radioactive decay constant = (Ln2)/T₀,₅
  • T₀,₅ ⇒ The half-life of carbon 14 = 5600 years
  • T₀ = 0
  • T₁ = ???

Let us first calculate the radioactive decay constant.

λ = (Ln2)/T₀,₅

λ = 0.693/5600

λ = 0.000123

Now, let us calculate the first term in the equation

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = Ln (15%/100%) = Ln 0.15 = - 1.89

Finally, let us replace the terms, clear the equation, and calculate the value of T₁.

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁

- 1.89 = - 0.000123 x T₁

T₁ = - 1.89 / - 0.000123

T₁ = 15,365 years

The person has been dead for approximately 15,300 years
