The radioactive decay of carbon-14 is first-order and the half-life is 5800 years. while a plant or animal is living, it has a constant proportion of carbon-14 (relative to carbon-12) in its composition. when the organism dies, the proportion of carbon-14 decreases as a result of radioactive decay and the age of the organism can be determined if the proportion of carbon14 in its remains is measured. if the proportion of carbon-14 in an ancient piece of wood is found to be one quarter that in living trees, how old is the sample?

Predict the products of the following acid-base reactions, and predict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the reaction arrow. part ao2-(aq)+h2o(l)< => express your answer as part of a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. o2-(aq)+h2o(l) < => oh-(aq)+oh-(aq)part bpredict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equation in previous part. h2o is a stronger acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the right. h2o is a weaker acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the left. h2o is a stronger acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the left. h2o is a weaker acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the right. part cch3cooh(aq)+hs? (aq) < => express your answer as part of a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. ch3cooh(aq)+hs-(aq) < => h2s(aq)+c2h3o2-(aq)h2s(aq)+c2h3o2-( aq)part dpredict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equation in previous part. ch3cooh is a weaker acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the right. ch3cooh is a weaker acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the left. ch3cooh is a stronger acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the right. ch3cooh is a stronger acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the left. part eno2-(aq)+h2o(l) < => express your answer as part of a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. no2-(aq)+h2o(l) < => part fpredict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equation in previous part. hno2 is a stronger acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the right. hno2 is a weaker acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the left. hno2 is a stronger acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the left. hno2 is a weaker acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the right.
