What else can I help you with?
What do scientists use to determine a fossil's relative age?
Carbon14 dating (isotopic dating)
What Limitations are there of using carbon14 to date rocks?
The main limitations of using Carbon14 dating to find the age of something that is carbon base are firstly the possibility that carbon may be absorbed by some things making it more difficult to get an absolutely accurate age and secondly, with Carbon14 only having a half life of 5,568 years the maximum theoretical limit for detection is 100,000 years.
A researcher who uses carbon dating on anciet items?
The half life of C14 is about 5700 years, so items that are a few multiples of this time are suitable for carbon14 dating. Most archaeological items are suitable, and some young fossils.
What two things must scientist measure to find the absolute age of a rock?
scientists use carbon14 and potassium argon to find absolute age of rock
What is the mass number of carbon14?
Carbon is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 12.
What happens to the amount of nitrogen14 as the carbon14 decays?
As carbon-14 decays, it transforms into nitrogen-14 through the process of beta decay. So, the amount of nitrogen-14 increases as carbon-14 decays.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in carbon14?
7 protons, 7 neutrons and 7 electrons
What happens between Nina and fabian in house of Anubis?
dating
Why are atomic masses written as averages?
elements exist in more than one form eg carbon 12 and carbon14
What is a travel dating?
Travel dating is when you datethings that happened while on a trip. You might date something when an important thing happens.
If a girls dad finds out that you are dating her what happens?
Things become awkward. :)
An artifact is found that some are claiming is 30000 years old 3.1 percent of the original carbon14 is present The halflife of carbon14 is 5730 year?
To determine the age of the artifact, you can use the formula for exponential decay of radioactive elements: (N = N_0 \times (1/2)^{t/T}), where N is the final amount (3.1% of the original), N0 is the initial amount (100%), t is the time passed, and T is the half-life (5730 years). By substituting the values, you can solve for t, which will give you the age of the artifact.
