Answer:
Option A. FeCl3
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass of iron (Fe) = 6.25g
Mass of the compound formed = 18g
From the question, we were told that the compound formed contains chlorine. Therefore the mass of chlorine is obtained as follow
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = Mass of compound formed – Mass of iron.
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 18 – 6.25
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g
The compound therefore contains:
Iron (Fe) = 6.25g
Chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g
The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained by doing the following:
Step 1:
Divide by their molar mass
Fe = 6.25/56 = 0.112
Cl = 11.75/35.5 = 0.331
Step 2:
Divide by the smallest
Fe = 0.112/0.112 = 1
Cl = 0.331/0.112 = 3
The empirical formula for the compound is FeCl3

Explanation:
Answer:
17202.6 years
Explanation:
Activity of the living sample (Ao) = 160 counts per minute
Activity of the wood sample (A) = 20 counts per minute
Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
t= age of the artifact
From;
0.693/t1/2= 2.303/t log Ao/A
Then;
0.693/ 5730= 2.303/t log Ao/A
Substituting values;
0.693/5730= 2.303/t log (160/20)
Then we obtain;
1.209×10^-4 = 2.0798/t
t= 2.0798/1.209×10^-4
Thus;
t= 17202.6 years
Therefore the artifact is 17202.6 years old.
