24.3 2 An artifact classified as seeds, found in a site at Newlands Cross, Ireland, is found to have a 14C radioactivity of 0.10

3 counts per second per gram of carbon. If living carbon-containing objects have an activity of 0.255 counts per second per gram of carbon, estimate the age of the artifact?
The half-life of 14C is 5730 years.

Answer:

Age ≅ 7500 years

Explanation:

All radioactive decay is 1st order kinetics and described by the expression

A = A₀e^-kt => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k

k = 0.693 / t(half life) = (0.693 / 5730)yrs⁻¹ = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ yrs⁻¹

t = Age = [ln(0.103/0.255) / - 1.21 x 10⁻⁴] yrs = 7500 years

What is a positive ion?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

If the atom has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion or ANION. If it has more protons than electrons, it is a positive ion.

Explanation:

Positive ions are typically metals or act like metals. Many common materials contain these ions. Mercury is found in thermometers, for instance, and aluminum is a metal that is found in a surprising amount of things.

Calculate the molarity of a solution that contains 0.250 moles of kf in 0.500 l of water
MakcuM [25]
Molarity can be defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution.

M = n/V

Where M is the molarity of the solution (M or mol/L), n is the moles of the solute (mol) and V is the volume of the solution (L).

Here, solute is KF.

n = <span>0.250 mol
</span>V = 0.500 L
M = ?

By applying the formula,
   M = 0.250 mol / 0.500 L
   M = 0.500 mol/L

Hence, the molarity of KF solution is 0.500 mol/L.
