The half life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years, how many years would it take for 7/8 of the original amount to decay?
<span>Can somebody please help with this problem. I *think* I understand the basics of what a half life is. If I learned correctly, its the amount it takes for half of a sample to decay. It should also happen exponentially, 1/2 remaining after one half life, 1/4 after the second, 1/16 after the third etc. I'm still a little shaky though. Could somebody please clarify what exactly a half life is and how it can be determined (i.e. how to find the time it would take for 7/8 to decay) </span>
The equilibrium constant will be lowered and the equilibrium will shift to the left if the heat being produced is not removed.
Answer:
D is the answer I think (0 w 0 )

Answer:
3. at new Moon only when the Moon is on the ecliptic.
Explanation:
- Solar eclipse is the condition when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth. In this condition the moon casts its shadow on the earth.
- Whether the eclipse is a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse or an annular solar eclipse depends on various factors, but the position of the moon must be on the same orbital plane as that of the earth's orbit around the sun.
- The sun is about 400 times larger than the moon in size and the sun is almost 400 times farther from the earth than the moon is, this makes it possible for the moon to cover the sun completely leading to a complete solar eclipse.
- As we know that the orbit of the earth around the sun and the orbit of the moon around the earth is elliptical which leads to a variation in the distance from their rotating centers, so not of every eclipse the moon covers the sun completely developing an annular eclipse.
- When the moon is close enough to the earth on the ecliptic but not completely aligned in between the sun and the earth leads to a partial solar eclipse.
