Carbon dating of small bits of charcoal used in cave paintings has determined that some of the paintings are from 10000 to 30000 y old. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 y. In a 1μg-sample of carbon from a live tree, the activity of carbon-14 is 6.4μCi. If researchers determine that 1μg of charcoal from a prehistoric cave painting in France has an activity of 1.6 μCi, what is the age of the painting? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Both josef loschmidt and amedeo avogadro contributed to our understanding of basic molecular numbers, sizes, and reaction ratios. neither scientist discovered “avogadro’s number” in the form we use it today (6.02 x 10 23). still, there’s a controversy over the name. research the contributions from these two scientists and read about how avogadro’s number got its name. briefly state what you think this number should be called, providing key details of each scientist’s contributions to this concept and a solid rationale for your case in naming the number.
