Answer:

37.9g of carbon 14 remains

Explanation:

The radioactive decay of an atom follows the equation:

Ln[A] = -kt + Ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is amount of isotope after time t, k is decay constant and [A]₀ initial amount of the isotope.</em>

<em />

We can find k from half-life using:

k = ln 2 / Half-Life

k = ln 2 / 5730 years

k = 1.2097x10⁻⁴ yrs⁻¹

Replacing in the equation all values:

Ln[A] = -1.2097x10⁻⁴ yrs⁻¹*2292yrs + Ln[50g]

Ln[A] = 3.635

[A] = 37.9g of carbon 14 remains

<em />

Answer:

A warm shallow sea.

Explanation:

A warm, shallow sea invaded the Big Bend during the Cretaceous Period, some 135 million years ago, providing the setting for deposition of lime mud and the remains of sea-dwelling organisms such as clams and snails. Limestone layers formed from those shallow muds are now visible throughout much of the Big Bend.
