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

kramer

Answer:

A red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass in a late phase of stellar evolution. The outer atmosphere is inflated and tenuous, making the radius large and the surface temperature around 5,000 K or lower.

Calculate the number of grams of solute in 814.2mL of 0.227 M calcium acetate
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Mass = 29.23 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 814.2 mL 814.2/1000 = 0.8142 L)

Molarity of solution = 0.227 M

Mass of solute in gram = ?

Solution:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

By putting values,

0.227 M = number of moles / 0.8142 L

Number of moles = 0.227 M × 0.8142 L

Number of moles = 0.184 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of calcium acetate = 158.17 g/mol

Mass = 0.184 mol × 158.17 g/mol

Mass = 29.23 g
