Radio active decay reactions follow first order rate kinetics.
a) The half life and decay constant for radio active decay reactions are related by the equation:
Where k is the decay constant
b) Finding out the decay constant for the decay of C-14 isotope:
c) Finding the age of the sample :
35 % of the radiocarbon is present currently.
The first order rate equation is,
t = 7923 years
Therefore, age of the sample is 7923 years.
Answer:
Condensation
Explanation:
During condensation the water vapor in the air converts to liquid, this forms clouds.

Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
i. E = mc²
E = energy
m = mass
c = the speed of light
"Energy equals mass times the square of the speed of light.”
The equation says that energy and mass are interchangeable. If you multiply the mass of an object by c², you get its equivalent and of energy.
The SI base units for energy are kg·m²s⁻².
The most common derived unit is the joule (J). Others are the newton-metre (N·m), kilowatt-hour (kWh), watt-second (W·s), and volt-coulomb (V·C).
ii. Nuclear vs chemical reactions
a. Alpha decay
A nuclear reaction — like α decay — takes place in the nucleus of an atom.
An element becomes a different element.
b. Chemical reaction
Na· + ·Cl ⟶ Na⁺ + Cl⁻
A chemical reaction — like the formation of NaCl — involves rearranging the electrons, which are outside the nucleus.
The elements do not change.
Salt still consists of sodium and chlorine.
