In living things, the source of the carbon-14 that is used in radiocarbon dating is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Living things inhale oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is why the air and atmosphere are so full of it.
Explanation:
21. The given molecule for cracking is tetradecane.
On cracking it forms one mole of decane (C10H22) and two moles of ethene gas.
The chemical equation is shown below:
22. The essential condition for the formation of an ester is the reaction of alcohol and acid in presence of concentrated sulfuric acid.
Thus among the given options, the first option is the correct one.
23. Isomers of butanol are shown below:
It is 2-butanol.
The position of -OH group changes to the second carbon.
Answer : The incorrect option is, The most of the mass of the atom comes from the electron cloud.
Explanation :
There are three basic particles of an atom which are neutrons, protons and electrons.
The nucleus which is present in the center of an atom that contains the neutrons and the protons. The protons are positively charged and neutrons has no charge.
The outer region of an atom contains the electrons and the electrons are negatively charged.
As per given options, the statement which is the most of the mass of the atom comes from the electron cloud is incorrect statement because the most of the mass comes from the nucleus in which protons and neutrons are present.
