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.

KCl is an ionic salt with a formula weight of 74.54 g/mole. A 1.417 M (mole/liter) KCl solution has a density of 1064.5 grams/li
xenn [34]

Answer:

Mass of the salt:  105.6g of KCl.

Mass water: 958.9g of water.

Molality: 1.478m.

Explanation:

<em>Mass of the salt:</em>

In 1L, there are 1.417 moles. In grams:

1.417 moles KCl * (74.54g / mol) = 105.6g of KCl

<em>Mass of the water:</em>

We can determine the mass of solution (Mass of water + mass KCl) by multiplication of the voluome (1L and density 1064.5g/L), thus:

1L * (1064.5g / L) = 1064.5g - Mass solution.

Mass water = 1064.5g - 105.6g = 958.9g of water

<em>Molality:</em>

Moles KCl = 1.417 moles KCl.

kg Water = 958.9g = 0.9589kg.

Molality = 1.417mol / 0.9589kg = 1.478m

Which is a characteristic of nuclear fusion but NOT nuclear fission?
lisabon 2012 [21]
The answer is B. is the energy source of stars.

Fission is the type of nuclear energy simulated on Earth, as it is the one used to generate electricity. Fusion, on the other hand, is much more complicated to achieve because it requires extremely hot temperatures compared to fission. Fusion involves the combination of two hydrogen atoms to make helium, which releases a lot of energy. Stars such as the sun, exhibit fusion with its very hot temperature and abundant source of hydrogen.
