Answer:
17202.6 years
Explanation:
Activity of the living sample (Ao) = 160 counts per minute
Activity of the wood sample (A) = 20 counts per minute
Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
t= age of the artifact
From;
0.693/t1/2= 2.303/t log Ao/A
Then;
0.693/ 5730= 2.303/t log Ao/A
Substituting values;
0.693/5730= 2.303/t log (160/20)
Then we obtain;
1.209×10^-4 = 2.0798/t
t= 2.0798/1.209×10^-4
Thus;
t= 17202.6 years
Therefore the artifact is 17202.6 years old.

Given what we know about the mechanisms surrounding weather, we can confirm that Large deserts receive less rainfall due to the lack of bodies of water and "rainshadows".
- Rainshadow is a term used to describe the effects of nearby mountains on the rainfall amounts of a desert. The mountain causes the air to rise greatly and lose moisture. This moisture is received by the mountain, <em><u>which means that it does not reach the desert area. </u></em>
- Another limiting factor for the amount of rainfall received by deserts is the lack of bodies of water in the area. Once a desert is formed, <em>it tends to lack large bodies of water</em>. This limits the rainfall it receives given that there is no water nearby to evaporate and <em><u>cause the formation of clouds. </u></em>

Dalton postulated that atoms of the same elements had the same mass while atoms of different elements had different masses.
The discovery of isotopes revealed that atoms of the same element did not necessarily have same masses, they could have different masses.
Therefore, the modern periodic table that we use nowadays contains the average atomic mass of all the isotopes found for a given element.
