Interpretation:
Comprehend the age of the ship if scientist determine that the wooden beams of a sunken ship have 67% of the concentration of carbon-14 that is found in the leaves of tree alive today. Explain three possible source of error in the determination.
Concept introduction:
Radiocarbon dating or carbon dating can be defined as the process that is used to determine the age of any object which contains organic compounds.
The age of object is determined on the basis of presence of amount of radioactive isotope of carbon element. The radioactive isotope of carbon is C-14 which decay with time and shows radioactive properties.

Answer to Problem 10E
Age of ship = 1891 years
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Concentration C-14 = 67 %
Half-life of C-14 = 5730 years
The concentration of C-14 in sunken beam = 67 %
Thus the concentration of decay C-14 = 100 − 67 = 33 %
Calculate the age of ship:
Three possible errors in the determination of age of ship:
- The objects which contain wood also have Carbon and must be include in the given percentage of C-14.
- The living organisms if any on ship also contains carbon therefore it must be include in the given percentage of C-14.
- The living plants which are found in sunken ship might be grown after long time therefore the percentage of C in living leaves will add error in the age of ship.

- Interpreting NMR spectra is a skill that often requires some amount of practice, which, in turn, necessitates access to a collection of NMR spectra. Beyond Labz Organic Synthesis and Organic Qualitative Analysis have spectral libraries containing over 700 1H NMR spectra. In this assignment, you will take advantage of this by first predicting the NMR spectra for two closely related compounds and then checking your predictions by looking up the actual spectra in the spectra library. After completing this assignment, you may wish to select other compounds for additional practice. 1. Write the IUPAC names for the following two structures: Question 2 Question 3 2.

Hovering over a name in the list will show the structure on the chalkboard. The four buttons on the top of the Spectra tab in the tray are used to select the different spectroscopic techniques for the selected compound. Make sure the NMR button has been selected. 4. Scroll through the list of names to find the names for the two compounds you have been given and click on the name to display the NMR spectrum for each.
