A. The radioactive decay equation is N = N0
where T is the
half-life (5730 years), N0 is the number of atoms at time t = 0 and
N is the number at time t.
Rewriting this as:
(N/N0) =
Since N = (1/8) N0 and
substituting known values:
1/8 = 
Taking ln of both
sides:
ln(1/8)= -ln(2)*t/5730
t = - 5730 * ln(1/8) /
ln (2)
t = 17,190 years
The tree was cut down 17,190
years ago.
B. N0 = 1,500,000 carbon-14 atoms
Since N = (1/8) N0
N = 187,500 carbon
atoms left
Answer:
C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O → C₅H₁₂O₆ + C₆H₁₂O₆
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O → C₅H₁₂O₆ + C₆H₁₂O₆
Source of sucrose:
Sucrose is present in roots of plants and also in fruits. It is storage form of energy. Some insects and bacteria use sucrose as main food. Best example is honeybee which collect sucrose and convert it into honey.
Monomers of sucrose and hydrolysis:
Sucrose consist of monomers glucose and fructose which are join together through glycosidic bond. Hydrolysis break the sucrose molecule into glucose and fructose. In hydrolysis glycosidic bond is break which convert the sucrose into glucose and fructose. Hydrolysis is slow process but this reaction is catalyze by enzyme. The enzyme invertase catalyze this reaction.
The given reaction also completely follow the law of conservation of mass. There are equal number of atoms of elements on both side of chemical equation thus mass remain conserved.
D. It gives the same results when experiments are repeated
The process which has taken place is called CRYSTALLIZATION.
Generally, crystallization is the process by which solid crystals are precipitated from solution. Crystallization can also occur when a crystal melt or when a crystal get deposited directly from a gas, although these cases are rarer compare to crystals forming from solutions.
