Answer:
c. contraction
Explanation:
Heating will cause substances to expand, or change their state (like solid to liquid) or it may be a chemical reaction.
The time taken by Carbon-14 to decay radioactively from 120g to 112.5g is 22,920 years.
<h3>How do we calculate the total time of decay?</h3>
Time required for the whole radioactive decay of any substance will be calculated by using the below link:
T = (n)(t), where
- t = half life time = 5730 years
- n = number of half life required for the decay
Initial mass of Carbon-14 = 120g
Final mass of Carbon-14 = 112.5g
Left mass = 120 - 112 = 7.5g
Number of required half life for this will be:
- 1: 120 → 60
- 2: 60 → 30
- 3: 30 → 15
- 4: 15 → 7.5
4 half lives are required, now on putting values we get
T = (4)(5730) = 22,920 years
Hence required time for the decay is 22,920 years.

Answer: the speed at which products form
Explanation:
Rate of a reaction is defined as the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds. It is often expressed in terms of the concentration of a reactant that is consumed in a unit time or the concentration of a product that is formed in a unit of time.
For a general reaction :
![Rate=-\frac{d[A]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3D-%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BA%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
or ![Rate=+\frac{d[B]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3D%2B%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BB%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
where d[A] = change in concentration of reactant A
d[B] = change in concentration of product B
dt = time interval
