Bone age : 22,920 years

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Nt = 2.5 g C-14

No = 40 g

half-life = 5730 years

Required

time of decay

Solution

General formulas used in decay:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}$

t = duration of decay

t 1/2 = half-life

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time

Input the value :

$\tt 2.5=40.\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\\dfrac{2.5}{40}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\(\dfrac{1}{2})^4=\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\4=t/5730\rightarrow t=22920~years$

Solid carbon is known to react with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide. If a mass of 1.2g of carbon is burned in oxygen, 4.4g

Elden [556K]

Now ,

C + O2 → CO2

According to above equation, 1 mole of carbon reacts with one mole of oxygen to produce one mole of carbon dioxide.Thus this implies that 12 g of carbon reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 44 g of CO2.

No of moles = mass of the substance/molecular mass of the substance.

In this case 1.2 g of carbon reacts with "x "g of O2 to produce 4.4 g of CO2.

No of moles of carbon in this case = 1.2÷ 12 = 0.1 moles.

No of moles of carbon dioxide formed = 4.4÷44 =0.1 moles

Thus already discussed above, 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide. Hence to produce 0.1 mole of CO2 ,0.1 mole of carbon needs to react with 0.1 mole of oxygen.

Also number of moles of O2 = mass of O2÷ molar mass of O2

Substituting number of moles of O2 as 0.1 we get

mass of O2(x) = Number of moles of O2 × Molar mass of O2

Mass of O2 (x) = 0.1 × 32= 3.2 g

Thus mass of 3.2 g O2 reacts with 1.2 g of CO2 to produce 4.4 g of CO2.
