Compared with the fibers of cotton plants growing today, what is the relative ratio radioactivity in the old material vs the rel

ative amount radioactivity in the new material? The half-life of 14C is 5730 y. (A0 = original radioactivity and At = current radioactivity).
For a quipu sample that is 4800 years old, we will calculate the ratio of 14C/12C in the sample.
At/A0 = ?

Answer:

0.56

Explanation:

From the formula;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (Ao/At)

t1/2 = half life of the C-14 = 5730 y

t = time elapsed = 4800 y

At = Activity of C-14 at time t

Ao= Activity of a living C-14 sample

0.693/5730 = 2.303/4800 log (Ao/At)

1.2 * 10^-4 = 4.8 * 10^-4 log (Ao/At)

log (Ao/At) = 1.2 * 10^-4/4.8 * 10^-4

log (Ao/At) = 0.25

Ao/At = Antilog (0.25)

Ao/At = 1.778

Hence;

At/Ao = (1.778)^-1

At/Ao = 0.56

The edge length of the unit cell of KCl (NaCl-like structure, FCC) is 6.28 Å. Assuming anion-cation contact along the cell edge,
Mila [183]

Answer:

1.33 Å

Explanation:

Given that the edge length , a of the KCl which forms the FCC lattice = 6.28 Å

Also,

For the FCC lattice in which the anion-cation contact along the cell edge , the ratio of the radius of the cation to that of anion is 0.731.

Thus,

\frac {r^+}{r^-}=0.731 .................1

Also, the sum of the radius of the cation and the anion in FCC is equal to half of the edge length.

Thus,

r^++r^-=\frac {a}{2}  ...................2

Given that:

Cl^-\ (r^-) = 1.82\ \dot{A}

To find,

K^+\ (r^+) = ? \dot{A}

Using 1 and 2 , we get:

1.731\ r^+=0.731\times \frac {6.28}{2}

Write the condensed nd structural formulas as well as the names for all isomers of C3H5Cl3.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

1) 1,1,1-trichloropropane

2) 1,1,2-trichloropropane

3) 1,2,2-trichloropropane

4) 1,2,3-trichloropropane

Explanation:

For this question, we must remember that isomers are molecules that have the <em>same formula but different structure</em>s. For the formula C_3H_5Cl_3 we can draw a <u>linear chain of three carbons</u> and change the position of the chlorine atoms in the carbon chain.

With this in mind, if we put all the chlorine atoms on the same carbon we will get <u>1,1,1-trichloropropane</u>. If we change an atom from chlorine to carbon 2 we will obtain <u>1,1,2-trichloropropane</u>. If we move another chlorine atom to carbon two we will get <u>1,2,2-trichloropropane</u>. Finally, if we put a chlorine atom in each carbon we will obtain <u>1,2,3-trichloropropane</u>.

See figure one for further explanations

I hope it helps!
