Given, half life of a certain radioactive element = 800 years.
Amount of substance remaining at time t = 12.5%
Lets consider the initial amount of the radioactive substance = 100%
Using the half life equation:
A = A₀(1/2)^t/t₁/₂
where A₀ is the amount of radioactive substance at time zero and A is the amount of radioactive substance at time t, and t₁/₂ is the half-life of the radioactive substance.
Plugging the given data into the half life equation we have,
12.5 = 100 . (1/2)^t/800
12.5/100 = (1/2)^t/800
0.125 = (0.5)^t/800
(0.5)^3 = (0.5)^t/800
3 = t/800
t = 2400 years
Thus the object is 2400 years old.
I think co 2 maybe
I cant remember
The two components of a solution are solvent and solute.
A solution is a homogenous mixture, stable, and the particles are very small.
Answer:DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. To carry out these functions, DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used to produce proteins, which are the complex molecules that do most of the work in our bodies.
Explanation:

There are several phases that this problem undergoes and the final answer is the sum of all the energy used for each phase.
Phase 1. Heating of solid ethanol until its melting point.
Phase 2. Melting of the ethanol until it's completely liquid.
Phase 3. Heating of the liquid ethanol until it reaches its boiling point.
Phase 4. Boiling the ethanol until it's completely vapor.
To make things more interesting, some of our constant are per gram and some others are per mole. So let's calculate how many moles of ethanol we have.
Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107
Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794
Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999
Molar mass ethanol = 2*12.0107 + 6*1.00794 + 15.999 = 46.06804 g/mol
Moles ethanol = 75g / 46.06804 g/mol = 1.628026719 mol
Phase 1. Use the specific heat of solid ethanol and multiply by the number of degrees we need to change by the mass we have. So
0.97 J/g*K * 75 g * (-114c - -120c)
= 0.97 J/g*K * 75 g * 6K
= 436.5 J
Phase 2: Time to melt. Just need the moles and the enthalpy of fusion. So:
1.628026719 mol * 5.02 kJ/mol = 8.172694128 kJ
Phase 3: Heat to boiling. Just like heating to melting, just a different specific heat and temperature
2.3J/g*K * 75g * (78c - -114c)
= 2.3J/g*K * 75g * 192 K
= 33120 J
Phase 4: Boil it to vapor. Need moles and enthalpy of vaporization. So
1.628026719 mol * 38.56 kJ/mol = 62.77671027 kJ
Now let's add them together:
436.5 J + 8.172694128 kJ + 33120 J + 62.77671027 kJ
= 0.4365 kJ + 8.172694128 kJ + 33.120 kJ + 62.77671027 kJ
=104.5059044 kJ
Since the least precise datum we have is 2 significant figures, round the result to 2 significant figures, giving 100 kilo joules.</span>
