In order to understand the prehistory of the Hawaiian island of Lana'i better, anthropologists Maria Sweeney, Melinda Allen, and

Boyd Dixon used radiocarbon dating on charcoal found in an ancient dwelling site, the Kaunolu Village National Historic Landmark, the largest archeological complex on the island. In one of their samples, they found that approximately 94% of the original carbon 14 remained. Using the fact that Carbon 14 decays by 1.202% every 100 years, determine the approximate age of this sample.

Answer:

500 years

Explanation:

The original carbon-14 was 100%, and after 100 years, it decays 1.202%. So after 100 years it goes to 98.798%, after more 100 years (200 years), it will be 97.596% (98.798 - 1.202), thus, after n 100 years "package", the percenatge will be:

100% - actual% = n*1.202

n = (100% - actual%)/1.202

n = (100% - 94%)/1.202

n = 4.992

So, the number of years is n*100 = 4.992*100 = 499.2 ≅ 500 years.

What is AgNO3 + KCI-KNO3+AgCI. What type of reaction does this represent
PIT_PIT [208]
<span>C4H10 + 6.5 O2 ----> 4CO2 + 5H2O 

2C4H10 + 13 O2 ----> 8CO2 + 10H2O 

1. Count the C on the left (4), put a 4 where the C on the right. 

2. Count the H on the left (1), you have two on the right, so you multimply this two by 5. Put the 5 in front of the H2O 

3. Count the O on the right. You have 4*2 + 5 = 13. You have two on the left, so you need 6.5 on the left. 

4. Now multiply everything on the equation by two so you have nice integer numbers. 

5. check you have the same amount of everything on each side. 
Example C: left 8, right 8, etc.
