Answer:

18.94%.

Explanation:

  • The decay of carbon-14 is a first order reaction.
  • The rate constant of the reaction (k) in a first order reaction = ln (2)/half-life = 0.693/(5730 year) = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.
  • The integration law of a first order reaction is:

<em>kt = ln [A₀]/[A]</em>

k is the rate constant = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.

t is the time = 13,750 years.

[A₀] is the initial percentage of carbon-14 = 100.0 %.

[A] is the remaining percentage of carbon-14 = ??? %.

∵ kt = ln [Ao]/[A]

∴ (1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹)(13,750 years) = ln (100.0%)/[A]

1.664 =  ln (100.0%)/[A]

Taking exponential for both sides:

5.279 = (100.0%)/[A]

<em>∴ [A]</em> = (100.0%)/5.279 = <em>18.94%.</em>

Gases and particles which are put into the air or emitted by various sources are called __________. photochemical smog emissions
Leto [7]
I would say the answer is emissions. These are the particles that are not supposed to be present in air but due to the production of different substances from humans daily activities these substances go with the air we breath. Hope this helped.

g All of the molecules below have polar bonds but only one of the molecules is a polar molecule. Which one is a polar molecule?
lbvjy [14]

Answer: NF_3

Explanation:

Geometrical symmetry of the molecule and the polarity of the bonds determine the polarity of the molecule.

The molecule that has zero dipole moment that means it is a geometrically symmetric molecule and the molecule which has some net dipole moment means it is a geometrically asymmetric molecule.

As the molecule is symmetric, the dipole moment will be zero as dipole moments cancel each other and the molecule will be non-polar.

As the molecule is asymmetric, the dipole moment will not be zero and the molecule will be polar.

Example: NF_3

Thus, we can say that NF_3 is a polar molecule.
