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.
Maple syrup would be categorized under solutions. As it contains sugar which is very soluble in water, it dissolves completely in water depending on its solubility at that temperature making it impossible for the components to be filtered out. A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
Answer:
Ionic compounds contain ions and are held together by the attractive forces among the oppositely charged ions
Explanation:
Common salt (sodium chloride) is one of the best-known ionic compounds. Molecular compounds contain discrete molecules, which are held together by sharing electrons (covalent bonding).
