Why can't scientists simply use carbon-12 (12C) do determine

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

carbon-12 is not radioactive

Explanation:

The measurement of the age of dead carbon based life forms requires the use of a radioactive isotope hence it is often referred to as radiocarbon dating.

Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 occur together in living things.The half life of Carbon-14 is about 5670 years.

Hence, since Carbon-12 is not radioactive, it can not be used to measure the age of dead carbon based materials.

The daily production of carbon dioxide from an 780.0 mw coal-fired power plant is estimated to be 3.3480 x 104 tons (not metric)
valkas [14]

The production of CO_{2} is 3.3480\times 10^{4} tons/day. Converting mass into kg,

1 ton=907.185 kg, thus,

3.3480\times 10^{4} tons=3.037\times 10^{7} kg

Thus, production of CO_{2} will be 3.037\times 10^{7} kg/ day.

The specific volume of CO_{2} is 0.0120 m^{3}/kg.

Volume of CO_{2} produced per day can be calculated as:

V=Specific volume\times mass

Putting the values,

V=0.0120 m^{3}/kg\times 3.037\times 10^{7} kg=364440 m^{3}/day

Thus, volume of CO_{2} produced per year will be:

V=\frac{365 days}{1 year}(364440 m^{3}/day)=1.33\times 10^{8}m^{3}/year

Thus, in 4 year volume of CO_{2} produced will be:

V=1.33\times 10^{8}m^{3}/year\times 4 years=5.32\times 10^{8}m^{3}
