if a sample known to be about 10,740 years old has 400 carbon-14 atoms. how many atoms were in the sample when the organism dies

Physics
1 answer:
GrogVix [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Carbon 14 has a half-life of about 5740 years

Since this is about 2  half-lives then 1/4 of the atoms would remain

meaning 1600 atoms were initially present , I assume that they mean the sample died 10,740 years ago

More accurately (T / 5740) = n = number of elapsed half-lives

(10740 / 5740)  = 1.87 half lives

(1/2)^1.87 = .273  of original amount left

400 / .273 = 1463  atoms originally present

Can someone help me? Idk why I can't understand this
olya-2409 [2.1K]
It's been a while since I've studied this, but my answers would be:

13. 5730 years. The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for half of it to decay, and, according to the graph, half of the substance remained at 5730 years.

14. 10740 years. According to the graph, only 25% of the carbon remained after 10740 years.

15. 15 atoms. According to the graph, only 12.5% of the carbon remained after 16110 years. 12.5% of 120 atoms is 15 atoms.

16. 1600 atoms. According to the graph, if a sample of carbon is 10740 years old, only 25% of it remains. To find the original amount, multiply the current amount by (100% / 25%), which equals 4. So, 4. 400 atoms * 4 = 1600 atoms is the original amount.

4720 kj of energy are supplied to a material in order to raise its temperature by 65k. if the specific heat capacity of the mate
jeka57 [31]

The mass of material is 26.6 Kg

Given:

Q = 4720 KJ

Change in Temperature (AT) = 65 K

Specific heat capacity of material (c) = 2730 J K Kg*K

The relation between Q, AT, c and m are related by following formula: Q=m* c*∆T,

Plugging value in heat formula:

4720KJ = m* 2730 J/Kg*K * 65K

4720KJ = m * 177450J/kg

Converting 177450 J/kg to Kg/KJ

177450 J/kg*1KJ/1000J = 177.450KJ/kg

Dividing both side by 177.450KJ/kg

4720KJ/177.450KJ/Kg = m*177.450KJ/Kg÷ 177.450KJ/Kg

Hence, the mass of material = 26.6 Kg
