Answer:
20619.4793 years
Explanation:
The half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
The formula for the half life for a first order kinetic reaction is:
Where,
is the half life
k is the rate constant.
Thus rate constant is:
5730 years=ln(2)/k
k = 1.21×10⁻⁴ years ⁻¹
Using integrated rate law as:
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Given that the final concentration contains 8.25 % of the original quantity which means that:
So,
ln(.0825)= -1.21×10⁻⁴×t
<u>
t = 20619.4793 years</u>

Rydberg Eqn is given as:
1/λ = R [1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2]
<span>Where λ is the wavelength of the light; 2626 nm = 2.626×10^-6 m </span>
<span>R is the Rydberg constant: R = 1.09737×10^7 m-1 </span>
<span>From Brackett series n1 = 4 </span>
<span>Hence 1/(2.626×10^-6 ) = 1.09737× 10^7 [1/4^2 – 1/n2^2] </span>
<span>Some rearranging and collecting up terms: </span>
<span>1 = (2.626×10^-6)×(1.09737× 10^7)[1/16 -1/n2^2] </span>
<span>1= 28.82[1/16 – 1/n2^2] </span>
<span>28.82/n^2 = 1.8011 – 1 = 0.8011 </span>
<span>n^2 = 28.82/0.8011 = 35.98 </span>
<span>n = √(35.98) = 6</span>
Mitosis creates a diploid duplicate of the parent cell that is genetically the same as its parent cell, and meiosis creates haploid cells that are genetically different than their parent cell.
