The Half life is the time taken for a radioisotope or a radioactive substance to decay by half its original amount. The half life of carbon 14 is 5600 years.
Original mass is 100%
Remaining amount is 24%
Therefore; 0.24 = 1 × (1/2)^n
n = log 0.24/log 0.5
= 2.06
therefore, the age of the fossil is 5600×2.06
= 11529.8
≈ 11529 years
Answer:
The other colors of the electromagnetic spectrum are absorbed by the substance and not reflected. If you were to look at it in infared or unltraviolet it would reflect different colors than those of the visible spectrum.
Explanation:
In order of reactivity: magnesium, iron, copper, silver
Explanation:
Charles' law gives the relationship between the volume and the temperature of the gas. Mathematically,
Volume ∝ Temperature
i.e. 
We have, V₁ = 1.6 L, T₁ = 278 K, T₂ = 253, V₂=?
So, the new volume is 1.45 L.
