Radio active decay reactions follow first order rate kinetics.
a) The half life and decay constant for radio active decay reactions are related by the equation:
Where k is the decay constant
b) Finding out the decay constant for the decay of C-14 isotope:
c) Finding the age of the sample :
35 % of the radiocarbon is present currently.
The first order rate equation is,
![[A] = [A_{0}]e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5BA%5D%20%3D%20%5BA_%7B0%7D%5De%5E%7B-kt%7D%20%20%20)
![\frac{[A]}{[A_{0}]} = e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5D%7D%7B%5BA_%7B0%7D%5D%7D%20%3D%20e%5E%7B-kt%7D%20%20)
t = 7923 years
Therefore, age of the sample is 7923 years.
Answer:
Other forms of energy can convert to mechanical energy
Explanation:
For example the electric or magnetic energy in a motor can convert to mechanical energy, or another example is when you put two magnets together they will clip together due to the magnetic energy that they have.
The answer would be "air, wood". Gases have the highest Kinetic energy and least Potential energy. Liquids have the 2nd highest Kinetic energy and 2nd least potential energy and solids have the least kinetic energy and highest potential energy.
Pretty sure it's the Precambrian.
