1) How old is a bone in which the Carbon-14 in it has undergone 8 half-lives?
Using the graph form the picture you count 8 times the halving of C¹⁴ and you arrive at 45600 years.
2) In the process of radiocarbon dating, the fixed period of radioactive decay used to determine age is called the half-life.
3) A certain byproduct in nuclear reactors, 210Po, decays to become 206Pb. After a time period of about 276 days, only about 25% of an original sample of 210Po remains. The remainder has decayed to 206Pb. Determine the approximate half-life of 210Po.
What the problem is telling you is that at 276 days only 25% original sample remains. If you divide the number of days by two the quantity of original sample will be multiplied by two, and you will have 138 days and 50% of original sample. This is the answer because the the half-life of a isotope is the time in which 50% of original quantity of radioactive atoms will disintegrate.
This reaction only occurs at high temperatures and in the presence of a metal-based catalyst (nickel). And the H2O is in the form of steam (due to the high temperature)
Phosphorus 31. because the mass of sulfur 32 minus the number of protons 16 = 16 neutrons and the mass of phosphorus 31 minus the number of protons 15 = 16 neutrons
Final answer: phosphorus 31
Answer: A monopoly is the absence of competition in the market.
Explanation:
In such circumstances, the market creates a monopoly of one producer who takes huge capital and dictates prices. An example of a monopoly on the market is the existence of only one company that makes up the entire economic branch. In such circumstances, the monopolist can increase the product's price without losing the entire sale, i.e., operating successfully. In that situation, the monopolist remains the only one on the market, and the competition has no access to the market.
