The age of fossils can sometimes be determined by radiometric dating, which is based on the constant rate of decay of radioactiv

e isotopes. the time required for half of a radioactive isotope to decay is called the half-life of that isotope. for example, the isotope carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. suppose it is determined that a fossilized leaf contains 12.5% of the carbon-14 that was present when the fossil formed. how old is the fossil? express your answer numerically.

The age of the fossil given the present amount of Carbon-14 is given in the equation,
                               A(t) = A(o)(0.5)^t/h
where A(t) is the current amount, A(o) is the initial amount, t is time and h is the half-life. Substituting the known values to the equation,
                       A(t) / A(o) = 0.125 = (0.5)^(t/5730)
The value of t from the equation is 17190.
Thus, the age of the fossil is mostly likely to be 17190 years old.

Based on the information in the table, which of the following arranges the bonds in order of decreasing polarity?
patriot [66]

Polarity is the chemical property based on the electric charge and orientation of the poles. Al−O>H−Br>As−S is arranged in decreasing order of polarity. Thus, option d is correct.

<h3>What is polarity?</h3>

Polarity is a chemical property of the distribution of the electrical charges over their respective atom in the molecule joined by the bonds. The relation between the polarity and the difference in electronegativity is directly proportional.

The electronegativity difference between the elements are:

  • Al−O = 1.8
  • H−Br = 0.8
  • As−S = 0.4

As the electronegativity difference between Al−O = 1.8 is the highest it will have the highest polarity followed by H−Br = 0.8, and As−S = 0.4, with the lowest polarity.

Therefore, option D. Al−O>H−Br>As−S is arranged in decreasing order of polarity.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

31 / 2.8 = 11.0714286 L per mole of helium

3.5 / 4 = 0.875 moles

2.8 + 0.875 = 3.675 moles

11.0714286 x 3.675 = 40.6875 L
