Answer:
100 grams of C-14 decays to 25 grams in 11,460 years.
The C-14 isotope is only useful for dating fossils up to about 50,000 years old
If an ancient bone contains 6.25% of its original carbon, then the bone must be 22,920 years old.
Explanation:
We already know that the half life of C-14 is 5,730 years. After the first half life, we have 50 grams remaining. This takes 5,730 years. After the second half life (11,460 years now gone) we have 25 grams of C-14 left.
If a fossil material is older than 50,000 years an undetectable amount of 14C is left in the sample hence Carbon-14 is no longer suitable for dating the sample.
From;
0.693/5730 = 2.303/t log (No/0.0625No)
Where;
t = time taken and No = initial amount of C-14
0.693/5730= 2.77/t
t = 22,920 years
Carbonated drinks have the air under pressure so that carbon bubbles are forced into the drink, keeping it carbonated. So when you open a can, the air under pressure in the can comes out of the can at a high speed, making a "whooshing" sound. The gas law that applies to this concept is the Boyle's Law (PV=k or P1V1=P2V2).
Answer:
mass composition is very essential in obtaining a balanced equation
Explanation:
to have a completely balanced equation that means the right hand side being your reactants must be equal to the right hand side being your product. both sides need to have equal mass composition, when calculating the mass composition make sure both sides are equal if not consider revisiting the number of moles on both sides to ensure they all balance
