Answer:

11460 years

Explanation:

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (No/N)

t1/2 = half life of the carbon

t = age of the fossil

No= amount of radioactive material originally present

N= amount of radioactive material present at time=t

No= mass of carbon + nitrogen = 5g

0.693/5730 = 2.303/t log (5/1.25)

1.21 ×10^-4 = 1.3866/t

t= 1.3866/1.21 ×10^-4

t= 11460 years

What effect does a high carbon level have on a deep ocean
oksian1 [2.3K]

Explanation:

High carbon concentration in the deep ocean means increased absorption of carbon to the atmosphere resulting to even greater and harmful amounts of carbon in the atmosphere. Therefore we need to keep a close eye of the deep ocean in the quest to monitor and pump out excess carbon from this part of marine life.

A solution is made by dissolving 85.0 mL of sodium fluoride to water until the final volume is 350.0 mL. Identify the solute in
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Sodium fluoride</em></u>

Explanation:

A <em>solution </em>is constituted by two parts: the solute and the solvent (there may be more than 1 solute and more than 1 solvent, but that is not the key of the answer).

<em>Solute</em> is the substace that is dissolved and it is in less amount than the solvent.

<em>Solvent</em> is the substance that can dissolve the solute and it is a greater amount than the solute.

In the given solution:

  • <em>sodium fluoride</em>, <em>85.0 mL</em>, is the solute,
  • <em>water</em>, <em>350.0 mL</em> is the solvent, and
  • the mixture of both substances is the solution.
