The time taken by Carbon-14 to decay radioactively from 120g to 112.5g is 22,920 years.
<h3>How do we calculate the total time of decay?</h3>
Time required for the whole radioactive decay of any substance will be calculated by using the below link:
T = (n)(t), where
- t = half life time = 5730 years
- n = number of half life required for the decay
Initial mass of Carbon-14 = 120g
Final mass of Carbon-14 = 112.5g
Left mass = 120 - 112 = 7.5g
Number of required half life for this will be:
- 1: 120 → 60
- 2: 60 → 30
- 3: 30 → 15
- 4: 15 → 7.5
4 half lives are required, now on putting values we get
T = (4)(5730) = 22,920 years
Hence required time for the decay is 22,920 years.

Ph= -log[h30]
Ph= -log[1.7x10^-4]
pH= 3.77
pH is acidic
Answer:
B. Salt, NaCl, is produced by the process of evaporation of seawater or brine. If the surface area of the water is increased, the same volume of water evaporates faster.
C. The Haber process combines hydrogen and nitrogen to make ammonia. The two gases are passed through a reactor under pressure and at high temperatures. If iron is added to the reactor, the yield of ammonia increases.
Explanation:
Evaporation of water is responsible for the production of sodium chloride also known as table salt. Sodium and chlorine are present in water. When more evaporation of water occurs, sodium and chlorine come close together forming sodium chloride. Haber process is responsible for the production of ammonia which is used as fertilizer. For speed up the process, catalyst is used such as iron in order to complete the reaction in less time. Iron binds hydrogen and nitrogen with each other.
