The cloth shroud from around a mummy is found to have a 14C activity of 8.4 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon as compared with living organisms that undergo 15.2 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. From the half-life for 14C decay, 5715 yr, calculate the age of the shroud

Fugu, also known as puffer fish, is a sushi delicacy that can also be lethal. puffer fish contain a powerful toxin that can kill an adult a few hours after ingestion. sushi chefs who prepare fugu must be specially trained because any contamination of the toxin-free areas of the fish can be deadly. recently this toxin has been put to good use, as scientists have discovered that a purified form of it can treat severe pain in cancer patients. this recent scientific discovery would fall under which area of chemistry? applied biochemistry pure organic chemistry pure physical chemistry applied inorganic chemistry

Consider the reaction: n2(g) + o2(g) ? 2no(g) kc = 0.10 at 2000oc starting with initial concentrations of 0.040 mol/l of n2 and 0.040 mol/l of o2, calculate the equilibrium concentration of no in mol/l how would this be done?
