Answer:

It uses fossils to help pinpoint the ages of rocks.

Explanation:

Radiocarbon dating can not be used to determine the age of rocks.

Carbon dating works well only for objects that are less than 50,000 years. Most rocks are far older than that. Over time, carbon-14 decays gradually into nitrogen. Hence, we can not really use radiocarbon dating to determine the absolute age of a rock sample since the carbon-14 in the fossils of ancient rock samples may have completely decayed.

The concentration of dye in Solution A is 26.609 M. You have 13 mL of water at your disposal to make the dilutions. The solution

exis [7]

Answer:

6,613 M

Explanation:

Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in solution, mixing initial solution with more solvent.

The concentration of Solution B is:

23,881 M × = 9,552 M

Because the initial eight parts are diluted to 12+8 parts.

Thus, concentration of solution C is:

9,552 M × = 6,613 M

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope that decays according to first-order kinetics in a process that has a half-life of 5730 years

Sliva [168]

Answer : The time passed in years is $2.83\times 10^3\text{ years}$

Explanation :

Half-life = 5730 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{5730\text{ years}}$

$k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant = X g

a - x = amount left after decay process = $71\% \times (x)=\frac{71}{100}\times (X)=0.71Xg$

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{X}{0.71X}$

$t=2831.00\text{ years}=2.83\times 10^3\text{ years}$

Therefore, the time passed in years is $2.83\times 10^3\text{ years}$
