7. There is a typo. It should read: Assume that 12C accounts for 99% of carbon. If the rest consists of 13C and a little less 14C, then 14C makes up what percent of carbon?
(Hint: there seems to be information missing, but if so, you are forgetting to look something up in the periodic table.)
Let x = percent decimal of 13C
0.01 – x = amount of 14C
So 0.99(12) + 13x + 14(0.01-x) = 12.011
x = 0.009000000000 = 0.9 % 13C
amount of 14C = 0.01 – 0.009 = 0.001 = 0.1%
