Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The age of BP of the Clovis site has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Radiocarbon dating: The dynamic equilibrium exists in all living organism by exhaling or inhaling, maintain the same ratio of 12C and 14C that takes in. when the living organism dies, the intake of 14C stops and it’s the ratio no longer exhibits equilibrium; undergoes radioactive decay.

Half-life period: The time required to reduce to half of its initial value.

Formula used to calculate half-life:

t1/2=0.693kwhere,kis rate constant.(or)ln[N]t- ln[N]0= -kt

All of these compounds would be produced (I think).  In my book, I don't see any rules about yield in this case, like explaining that one product would be present in less yield for this reason or that reason.  Please explain why some of these produce less yield than others.
5. Fill in the missing molecules in the following reaction pathway. TMSO Heat + CI then HF O₂N (1.0 equiv) AICI 3 OMe
e. O₂N NO2 1. excess H2, Pd/C 2. excess NaNO2, HCI 3. excess CuCN
