The amount of radioactive carbon-14 in a sample is measured using a Geiger counter, which records each disintegration of an atom

. Living tissue disintegrates at a rate of about 13.5 atoms per minute per gram of carbon. In 1977 a charcoal fragment found at Stonehenge, England, recorded 8.2 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. Assuming that the half-life of carbon14 is 5730 years and that the charcoal was formed during the building of the site, estimate the date when Stonehenge was built

Answer:

4121 years

Explanation:

From;

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

t1/2= half life of the carbon-14

No= count rate of the living tissue

N= count rate of the sample

t = age of the sample

0.693/5730 =2.303/t log (13.5/8.2)

1.21 * 10^-4 = 2.303/t * 0.2165

1.21 * 10^-4 = 0.4986/t

t = 0.4986/1.21 * 10^-4

t = 4121 years

Iron(II) sulfate, an iron supplement , FeSO4 Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Molar mass = 151.9 g/mol

Explanation:

The molar mass of a compound is obtained by adding u the individual atomic masses in the compound. The unit is g/mol.

In FeSO4, we have one Fe, one S and 4 O.

The atomic masses are given as follows;

Fe = 55.845 u

S =  32.065 u

O = 15.999 u

Molar mass = ( 1 * Fe) + (1 * S) + (4 * O)

Molar mass = (1 * 55.854 ) + ( 1 * 32.065) + (4 * 15.999)

Molar mass = 151.915  g/mol

In four significant figures;

Molar mass = 151.9 g/mol

Which statement best describes the organelles in a cell
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

(2) Organelles must work together and their

activities must be coordinated

Explanation:

Organelles are usually located in cells. They are saddled with the role of performing specific functions in the cells for the overall functioning of life. In eukaryotic cells, the organelles are membrane bounded but in prokaryotic or primitive cells such is not the case.

Examples of cell organelles are ribosome, food vacuole, nucleus e.t.c. Just like organs in the body, organelles must work together in order to enhance life.
