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.

During feasting, there is an increase in the supply of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the body. Since these macronutrients are in excess, carbohydrates and proteins are utilized or oxidized as a source for energy production. On the otherhand, fats are accumulated as the rate of oxidation of this source does not increase during feasting.

Answer:
air that moves from high pressure to low pressure
Answer:
None of the options are correct.
Explanation:
1) when the temperature of the solution is increased the solubility of the gas in the liquid decreases , hence option 1 is incorrect.
2)The heat released by the dissolution of an ionic compound in water is heat of hydration of the compound and is independent of the initial temperature of the solution.
3) The solubility of a liquid in water is not affected significantly by the pressure changes in the system as gases only have a significant cahne in solubility with change in pressure.
