Question 3 A A A Carbon-14 (C14) decays by a nuclearprocess to form carbon-12 (C12). The rate of decay of C14 isdirectly proportional to the quantity of C14 present. The half-lifeof C14 (time taken for the mass of C14 to halve, eg 1.0kg to 0.5kg)is 5730 years. If you start with a 883 gram block of pure C14, whatmass of C14 remains after 2922 years? Provide your answer to TWOdecimal places, using the normal convention. Pad with zeros ifnecessary. Mass of C14 at 2922 years (g) =
