An archaeologist finds 14C in a sample of material to be decaying at 20 Geiger Counter clicks per second. A modern equivalent sample of the same material decays at 160 clicks per second. The half-life of 14C is 5,730 years. How old is the sample

17188 years

Explanation:

Recall the formula;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log(No/N)

t1/2 = half life of 14C

No = initial activity of 14C

N = activity of 14C at time t

t = age of the sample

Substituting values

0.693/5730= 2.303/t log(160/ 20)

1.21 * 10^-4= 2.0798/t

t = 2.0798/1.21 * 10^-4

t = 17188 years

it is a solid

explanation:

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
