The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
The half-life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73x10^3 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14 in a tiny sample of an artifact made of woodfrom an archeological dig is measured to be 2.8x10^3 Bq. The activity in a similiar-sized sample of fresh wood is measured to be 3.0x10^3 Bq. Calculate the age of the artifact. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
570 years
Explanation:
The activity of the fresh sample is taken as the initial activity of the wood sample while the activity measured at a time t is the present activity of the wood artifact. The time taken for the wood to attain its current activity can be calculated from the formula shown in the image attached. The activity at a time t must always be less than the activity of a fresh wood sample. Detailed solution is found in the image attached.
Answer:
Carbon dioxide is moving out of the living things.
Explanation:
The food materials eaten by living things contain carbon in the form of complex organic matter. When living things feed, they ingest this complex organic material into their bodies.
During the process of digestion, this complex organic material is broken down to give glucose. Glucose is the energy molecule in living things. Excess glucose in the body is stored as glycogen.
During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to release carbon dioxide. Hence, at night when the giraffe has stopped eating, cellular respiration continues to occur and carbon dioxide is released, that is, carbon dioxide continues to move out of living things at night.
the energy gained by proteins and carbohydrates differs from the energy gained by fats.
proteins and carbohydrates both give 4 kcal per gram
fats give 9 kcal per gram
mass of proteins - 2 g
energy given by proteins - 2 g x 4 kcal/g = 8 cal
mass of carbohydrates - 20 g
energy given by carbohydrates - 20 g x 4 kcal/g = 80 cal
mass of fat - 1 g
energy given by fat - 1 g x 9 kcal/g = 9 cal
total energy = 8 + 80 + 9 = 97 kcal
energy = 97 kcal
<span>We know that protons gives positive charge, neutrons no charge and electrons negative, then +14 - 12 = +2
So the charge of the atom is sign positive and magnitude 2</span>
Dots are used to represent electrons.
