The amount of carbon -14 present in 9433 years will be approximately blank grams. Round to the nearest whole number

The Amount Of Carbon 14 Present In 9433 Years Will Be Approximately Blank Grams Round To The Nearest Whole Number class=

Sagot :

The decay model is given as,

[tex]A\text{ = 16e}^{-0.000121t}[/tex]

After t = 9433 years,

[tex]\begin{gathered} A\text{ = 16e}^{-0.000121\times9433} \\ A\text{ = 16e}^{-1.141393} \\ A\text{ = 16 }\times\text{ 0.3194} \\ A\text{ = 5.11 }\approx\text{ 5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus amount of carbon left is 5 grams.
