A 1,000g of C-14 is left to decay radioactively. The half-life of Carbon-14 is approximately 5,700 years. What fraction of the sample will remain after 17,100 years?

The fraction that is left is

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

b) for 17100 years

Fraction of the sample remained =

The fraction that is left is

the cold front replaces the warmer air at the ground level changing the wind to be breezy and denser.there is also an immediate drop in the temperature.
