Answer:

17188 years

Explanation:

Recall the formula;

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

t1/2 = half life of 14C

No = initial activity of 14C

N = activity of 14C at time t

t = age of the sample

Substituting values

0.693/5730= 2.303/t log(160/ 20)

1.21 * 10^-4= 2.0798/t

t = 2.0798/1.21 * 10^-4

t = 17188 years

If the atomic mass of 1 oxygen atom is 15.9994 amu, how much mass does of oxygen have?​
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Oxygen's atomic weight is 16.00 amu. 1 mole of oxygen is 6.02 x 1023 atoms of oxygen 1 amu = 1.661 x 10-24g What is the molar mass (g/mole) of oxygen? Molar mass (in grams) is always equal to the atomic weight of the atom! Molar mass (in grams) is always equal to the atomic weight of the atom!

Chlorine has two isotopes, 35Cl and 37Cl; 75.77 % of chlorine is 35Cl and 24.23 % is 37Cl. The atomic mass of 35Cl is 34.969 amu
storchak [24]

Answer:

35.4528731 amu

Explanation:

To appropriately get the atomic mass unit of chlorine, we can get the answer using the masses from the isotopes. This can be obtained as follows. What we do is that we multiply the percentage compositions by the masses.

Now let’s do this.

[75.77/100 * 34.969] + [24.23/100 * 36.966]

= 26.4960113 + 8.9568618 = 35.4528731
