The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
The half-life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73x10^3 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14 in a tiny sample of an artifact made of woodfrom an archeological dig is measured to be 2.8x10^3 Bq. The activity in a similiar-sized sample of fresh wood is measured to be 3.0x10^3 Bq. Calculate the age of the artifact. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
570 years
Explanation:
The activity of the fresh sample is taken as the initial activity of the wood sample while the activity measured at a time t is the present activity of the wood artifact. The time taken for the wood to attain its current activity can be calculated from the formula shown in the image attached. The activity at a time t must always be less than the activity of a fresh wood sample. Detailed solution is found in the image attached.

Answer:
MgCO₃
Explanation:
From the question given above, we obtained:
MgF₂ + Li₂CO₃ —> __ + 2LiF
The missing part of the equation can be obtained by writing the ionic equation for the reaction between MgF₂ and Li₂CO₃. This is illustrated below:
MgF₂ (aq) —> Mg²⁺ + 2F¯
Li₂CO₃ (aq) —> 2Li⁺ + CO₃²¯
MgF₂ + Li₂CO₃ —>
Mg²⁺ + 2F¯ + 2Li⁺ + CO₃²¯ —> Mg²⁺CO₃²¯ + 2Li⁺F¯
MgF₂ + Li₂CO₃ —> MgCO₃ + 2LiF
Now, we share compare the above equation with the one given in the question above to obtain the missing part. This is illustrated below:
MgF₂ + Li₂CO₃ —> __ + 2LiF
MgF₂ + Li₂CO₃ —> MgCO₃ + 2LiF
Therefore, the missing part of the equation is MgCO₃
