Radioactive dating uses the concept of half life to determine the age of something.
The general idea is that elements exist naturally as a combination of isotopes. Some isotopes are stable while others decay radioactively. The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time required to reduce the initial quantity of the isotope by 50% through the process of radioactive decay.
Carbon 14 dating works this way. A tree growing in the past would have an equilibrium mixture of C-12 and C-14 atoms in proportions consistent with living matter today. We know this value.
When that tree dies, it no longer accumulates new carbon atoms from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (through photosynthesis). At this point, the proportion of C-14 in the organic matter that was the tree decreases due to the decay of C-14 to an isotope of nitrogen.
When we dig up the remnants of the tree today, we can measure the proportion of C-14 to C-12 and see how much it has been reduced. From this we can calculate backwards using the half life of C-14 (5730 years) to estimate how old the remains of the tree are.
A. is the answer, because the more an experiment is repeated, it will become apparent if it yields the same results thus confirming or debunking the hypothesis.
Answer is (4).<span>
<em>
</em></span>
<span><em>Explanation:</em>
</span><span>
<span>The given mixture contains an </span>insoluble solid<span> <span>and an </span></span>aqueous solution of salt. <span>The insoluble solid is </span>sand. <span>
First </span><span>we have to separate </span>insoluble solid. <span>Sand can be separated by doing </span>filtration. When we filter the mixture sand can be seen as the residue on the filter paper.
<span>After filtering the mixture, we should collect the </span>filtrate. <span>Filtrate is the </span>salt solution. <span>By doing </span>evaporation <span>we can get the </span>solid salt. <span>
First </span>and second choices are wrong <span>because </span>after evaporating water filtration
cannot be done and salt and sand will be mixed together.<span>
Salt cannot be
filtered out because the salt is soluble and it is <span>in
aqueous medium. Hence, third choice is wrong</span></span></span>
In the pot of tea the molecules would be moving faster than in the cooled cup of tea. As liquid is heated the atoms vibrate faster which increases the distance between them. When heat leaves a substance, the molecules vibrate slower and get closer.
