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

Find mass percent of each element URGENT PLS HELP!!!
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: Think and you will get it right!

Explanation:

To find the mass percent composition of an element, divide the mass contribution of the element by the total molecular mass. This number must then be multiplied by 100% to be expressed as a percent.

Which statement best describes a solution? A). a mixture consisting of minute particles suspended in a medium that start moving
makvit [3.9K]
The statement that best describes a solution is the option C: a mixture having a uniform composition where the components cannot be seen separately and all components are in the same state.<span> That is exactly what a solution is: a homogeneous mixture, the composition is uniform, but it can vary from one solution to other. The components must be in the safe phase, but it can be any phase: solid, liquid or gas. The most classical and clear example is the salt solution, NaCl. When you dissolve a spoon of NaCl in water you will not be able to distinguish nor separating the solute from the solvent, and the mixture will have uniform composition.</span>

The compound, nah2po4, is present in many baking powders. what is its name? sodium phosphate sodium bephosphate sodium dihydroge
AlladinOne [14]
 The  compound NaH2PO4     name  is

sodium  dihydrogen  phosphate

 
Explanation
This name is    arrived  at  by using the   IUPAC rules  of naming   compound

1.  the metal (sodium)is  named  first  followed  by  the ligand ( hydrogen  and phosphate)

Ligand  are  molecules   that are   attached to  the metal  center.

2.   ligand  are  named using alphabetical   order(for  our  case  h  for hydrogen come before p for  phosphate hence hydrogen is named first)

3. Prefix   di is used  since hydrogen  are two

hence the name  of the compound  is  Sodium dihydrogen  phosphate
