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

How many grams of NCI3<br> are in 4.00 moles of NC13?
TEA [102]

The mass of NCl3 in 4.00 moles of NCl3 is 481.44 grams

Mole is defined as the amount of the substance containing the same number of discrete entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc) as there are atoms in a sample of pure 12C weighing exactly 12g. The number of particles present in one mole of any substance =Avogadro Number=6.

The formula for number mole is given as:

Number of moles =  <u>Mass of the substance </u> ; Now substituting the values

                                   Molar mass

⇒ 4.00 =  <u>x        </u>                       [Molar mass of NCl3 = 120.36]

               120.36

⇒ x = 4.00 × 120.36

⇒ x = 481.44 grams

Therefore the mass of NCl3 is 481.44 grams
