Carbon-14 is used to determine the age of ancient objects. If a sample today contains 0.060 g of carbon-14, how much carbon-14 m
MakcuM [25]

Answer: 86.47 g of carbon-14 must have been present in the sample 11,430 years ago.

Explanation:

Half-life of sample of carbon -14= 5,730 days

\lambda=\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5,730 days}=0.00012 day^{-1}

Let the sample present 11,430 years(t) ago = N_o

Sample left till today ,N= 0.060 g

N=N_o\times e^{-\lambda t}

ln[N]=ln[N]_o-\lambda t

\log[0.060 g]=\log[N_o]-2.303\times 0.00012 day^{-1}\times 11,430 days

\log[N_o]=1.9369

N_o=86.47 g

86.47 g of carbon-14 must have been present in the sample 11,430 years ago.
