A fear molar from a mammoth skeleton is dated using a measurement of its ¹4C content. Carbon from the tooth is chemically extracted and formed into benzene. The benzene sample is placed in a shielded chamber. Decays from the sample come at an average rate of 11.5 counts per minute. A modern benzene sample of the exact same size gives 54.9 counts per minute. The age of the skeleton was found to be 12,900 yr old. Y ▼ Part A What is the mass of ¹2C in the sample tested? Express your answer with the appropriate units. HA m12 = Value Units Submit Request Answer Part B. What is the mass of ¹4C in the sample tested? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
