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.

Which statement correctly compares electric charge with electric current?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Your answer would be D) They both require a movement of charged particles

Explanation:

In short terms both the charge and the current are made up of charged particles that are always moving, they constantly move to well... stay charged, if they stopped, then the charge would fade until there is nothing left, and if there is nothing left -it means there would be no electricity to use

Ag2O(s) → 2Ag(s) + ½ O2(g) ΔH° = 31.05 kJ Which statements concerning the reaction above are true? (1) heat is released (2) heat
Sidana [21]

Answer:

D) 2, 4, and 5

Explanation:

In order to fully comprehend the answer choices we must take a close look at the value of ΔH° = 31.05. The enthalpy change of the reaction is positive. A positive value of enthalpy of reaction implies that heat was absorbed in the course of the reaction.

If heat is absorbed in a reaction, that reaction is endothermic.

Since ∆Hreaction= ∆H products -∆H reactants, a positive value of ∆Hreaction implies that ∆Hproducts >∆Hreactants, hence the answer choice above.

What happens to the atomic radius when an elctron is lost​
Daniel [21]

Answer:

It decreases.

Explanation:

Due to changes in the Coulombic force, the protons within the nucleus of the ion have a much easier time pulling at one fewer electrons. This way, the electrons are pulled closer to the center, causing the radius to decrease.
