How do you determine the atomic mass of an element?

1 answer:

Alinara [238K]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

For any given isotope, the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is called the mass number. This is because each proton and each neutron weigh one atomic mass unit. By adding together the number of protons and neutrons and multiplying by 1 amu, you can calculate the mass of the atom.

A wooden artifact from an ancient tomb contains 60% of the carbon-14 that is present in living trees. How long ago was the artif

noname [10]

Answer:

The age of the sample is 4224 years.

Explanation:

Let the age of the sample be t years old.

Initial mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact = 100%

Initial mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = $[A_o]$

Final mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact t years = 60%

Final mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = $[A]=0.06[A_o]$

Half life of the carbon-14 = $t_{1/2}=5730 years$

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}$

$[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t}$

$0.60[A_o]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{5730 year}\times t}$

Solving for t:

t = 4223.71 years ≈ 4224 years

The age of the sample is 4224 years.
