<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;

  • Using the formula;
  • 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

What reactions are involved in making plastic bags and what are the molecules that make up a plastic bag like?
denpristay [2]
Plastic bags are made up of plastic film, non-woven fabric, or plastic textile. The molecules that are present in plastic bags are polymers. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers.

Write a balanced equation for the following reaction:
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

3AgCl + Na₃PO₄ —> 3NaCl + Ag₃PO₄

The coefficients are 3, 1, 3, 1

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Silver chloride reacts with sodium phosphate to yield sodium chloride and silver phosphate. This can be written as follow:

AgCl + Na₃PO₄ —> NaCl + Ag₃PO₄

The above equation can be balanced as follow:

AgCl + Na₃PO₄ —> NaCl + Ag₃PO₄

There are 3 atoms of Na on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of NaCl as shown below:

AgCl + Na₃PO₄ —> 3NaCl + Ag₃PO₄

There are 3 atoms of Cl on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of AgCl as shown below:

3AgCl + Na₃PO₄ —> 3NaCl + Ag₃PO₄

Thus, the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are 3, 1, 3, 1

Which of the following are physical characteristics of blood? 1. it is more viscous than water 2. its temperature is about 38ºC
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

A property which does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as physical property.

For example, blood is more viscous than water, its pH is slightly alkaline, its temperature is about 38^{o}C (100.4^{o}F)  .

On the other hand, a property which changes chemical composition of a substance is known as a chemical property.

For example, precipitation, reactivity, toxicity etc are chemical property.

Sometimes, the change in color of a substance can also occur due to a chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that following are the physical characteristics of blood.

  • it is more viscous than water.
  • its temperature is about 38^{o}C (100.4^{o}F).
  • the pH is slightly alkaline.
  • it is about 8% of one’s total body weight.
