Archaeologists can determine the age of artifacts made of wood or bone by measuring the amount of the radioactive isotope 14c present in the object. the amount of isotope decreases in a first-order process. if 25.7% of the original amount of 14c is present in a wooden tool at the time of analysis, what is the age of the tool? the half-life of 14c is 5,730 yr. give your answer in scientific notation.

The age of the tool is

Explanation:

Half-life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

Now we have to calculate the age of the tool:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,

k = rate constant  =

t = age of sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process  =

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

Thus the age of the tool is

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
