The artifact appears to have gone through 2 half-lives. 
One half-life for Carbon-14 is 5730 years.
After 5730 years, there would be 1/2 as much carbon-14
After another 5730 years, there would be 1/4 as much carbon-14

The answer is roughly 11,460 years

Explain what helps convert non-rich oxygen blood cells back to oxygen rich cells?
Reil [10]

Answer:

As blood travels through the body, oxygen is used up, and the blood becomes oxygen poor. Oxygen-poor blood returns from the body to the heart through the superior vena cava (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC), the two main veins that bring blood back to the heart.

If 2,035 cal of heat is added to a 500.0 g sample of water at 35.0°C, what is the final
Lynna [10]

Answer:

39.1 °C

Explanation:

Recall the equation for specific heat:

q=mc \Delta T\\

Where q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat of the substance (in this case water), and delta T is the change in temperature.

You should know that the specific heat of water is 1 cal/g/C.

Using the information in the question:

2035=500(1)(T-35)\\2035=500T-17500\\500T=19535\\T=39.07

The final temperature is about 39.1 °C.

Find the natural abundance of Si-30.
nataly862011 [7]
<span> First you need to know how many isotopes there are of silicon, and its average atomic units (look at periodic table). Then make up a system of equations to solve for it. Theres 3 stable silicon isotopes (28, 29, 30) so you will need to have 3 equations. You must be given the percent abundance of at least one of the isotopes to solve because here I can only see 2 equations (numbered down below) set x = percent abundance of si-28 y = percent abundance of si-29 z = percent abundance of si-30 since all of silicon atoms account for 100% of all silicon: x + y + z = 100% = 1 therefore: 1) x = 1 - y - z You also have 2) 28x + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass you can substitute x so that equation becomes: 28 (1 - y - z) + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass See how you have 2 variables here? You cant go on until you know the value of one isotope already or you have given a clue which you can derive the third equation</span>

The half-cell is a chamber in the voltaic cell where one half-cell is the site of the oxidation reaction and the other half-cell
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

\boxed{\rm \text{Fe(s) $\rightleftharpoons$ Fe$^{2+}$(aq) + 2e$^{-}$}}

Explanation:

The half-cell reduction potentials are

Ag⁺(aq) +   e⁻ ⇌ Ag(s)     E° =  0.7996 V

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Fe(s)     E° = -0.447    V

To create a spontaneous voltaic cell, we reverse the half-reaction with the more negative half-cell potential.

The anode is the electrode at which oxidation occurs.

The equation for the oxidation half-reaction is

\boxed{\rm \textbf{Fe(s) $\rightleftharpoons$ Fe$^{2+}$(aq) + 2e$^{-}$}}
