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

Question:
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Chemistry teacher

Pharmaceuticals

Biochem/biotech

Materials science

Food chemist

Explanation:

Chemistry teaching

Teaching jobs in chemistry can range from teaching in public middle and high schools (bachelor’s degree required) to junior or community college (master’s degree required) to the university level (doctorate required). At the university level, you get to do research along with your teaching responsibilities.

Pharmaceutical/chemical sales

If you like chemistry but don’t enjoy being in the lab, then sales may be the job for you. Somebody has to sell all those chemicals and medicines, and buyers like to deal with somebody who knows their science.

Biochem/biotech

Biochemists and biotechnologists work in research developing new genetic tests, work in the genetic engineering (cloning) area, and are involved in the development of new drugs.

Materials science

Material scientists study the composition and structure of various materials with the goal of developing new products or improving existing ones.

Food chemist

Food and flavor chemists work in the research and development of new foods or keeping food fresh. Chemists test food additives and preservatives, develop new flavors, and analyze food for nutrient levels or the presence of contaminants.
