Carbon-14 Dating: An Invaluable Yardstick in the Chronology of Humans Archaeologists utilize several methods to analyze data from the past. One scientific tool helps to analyze the radioactive decay of chemical elements found in plant and animal remains‚ pottery‚ and even rocks. Radiocarbon dating‚ also known as carbon-14 dating‚ has developed into one of the most important radioisotope dating methods archaeologists employ. This scientific tool‚ first developed by Willard F. Libby in the late

EXPERIMENT 3 DETERMINATION OF ORGANIC MATTER BY WALKEY- BLACK WET OXIDATION METHOD OBJECTIVE: This method determines the percentage of organic carbon and organic matter in the soil. INTRODUCTION The soil sample is suspended in standard potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) solution to which concentrated sulphuric acid is then added. The heat generated on adding the sulphuric acid and the presence of chromic acid creates strong oxidizing conditions. The excess chromic

Carbon nanotubes describes a specific topic within solid state physics‚ but is also of interest in other sciences like chemistry or biology‚ actually the topic has coating boundaries‚ because we are on the molecule level. The carbon nanotubes have in the recent years become more and more popular to the scientists. Initially‚ it was the spectacularly

thousand people fall victim to carbon monoxide poisoning and over one thousand five hundred die per year of this gas so deadly‚ it is referred to as the "silent killer"("What Is Carbon Monoxide?"). Carbon monoxide‚ or CO for short‚ is a flammable‚ colorless‚ odorless‚ tasteless gas that is produced during incomplete combustion of fuel and it’s ability to do harm resides within the lack of knowledge and understanding of this gas by society. To remain safe from carbon monoxide poisoning‚ one must comprehend

ASSIGNMENT: 1 SESSION: 2012/13 TUTOR: Stuart Allan WORD COUNT: 1‚891 Carbon fibre is a strong‚ yet light‚ reinforced polymer. Carbon fibres are used in applications where high strength and light weight are required. Carbon fibres can also be easily moulded into the desired shape. They are also chemically inert‚ resistant to heat‚ and do not expand under changing temperatures. Machining of carbon fibre materials can generate airborne particles. The potential health effects of
