Answer:

10 million years

Explanation:

For a sample to decay to 25% of its original amount, 2 half lives must have passed. Since one half life is 5 million years, multiplying this by 2 gives us that 2 half lives is 10 million years.

kotegsom [21]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The Greeks were the first to use the term atom. In 450 BCE, Democritus coined the term átomos which means "uncuttable" or "the smallest indivisible particle of matter".

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 0.400 mol HCl in 9.79 l solution?
Maslowich

Answer:

  • Option B, 0.0409 M

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) M = ?

b) n = 0.400 mol

V = 9.79 liters

<u>2) Formula:</u>

  • M = n / V (in liters)

<u>3) Solution:</u>

  • M = 0.400 mol / 9.79 liter = 0.04086 M

  • Since each data contain 3 significant digits, the answer must be reported with 3 significant digits. So, the correct answer is 0.0409 M, which is the option B.

You find a ring with a mass of 107g . You fill a graduated cylinder up with 10ml of water and put the ring into the cylinder . T
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

5 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of ring = 107 g

volume of water = 10 mL

increase in volume = 15 mL

How much water displace = ?

Solution:

V (ring) = V (water + ring) - V (water)

V (ring) = 15 mL -  10 mL

V (ring) = 5 mL

when the ring is put into cylinder, volume is increased by 15 mL. The volume of water was 10 mL so water is displaced by 5 mL and the volume 5mL is the voulme of ring.

What causes the jet stream to move farther south?
Anni [7]
<span>Jet streams are the major means of transport for weather systems.  A jet stream is an area of strong winds ranging from 120-250 mph that can be thousands of miles long, a couple of hundred miles across and a few miles deep.  Jet streams usually sit at the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere at a level called the tropopause.  This means most jet streams are about 6-9 miles off the ground. Figure A is a cross section of a jet stream.
</span>

The dynamics of jet streams are actually quite complicated, so this is a very simplified version of what creates jets.  The basic idea that drives jet formation is this:  a strong horizontal temperature contrast, like the one between the North Pole and the equator, causes a dramatic increase in horizontal wind speed with height.  Therefore, a jet stream forms directly over the center of the strongest area of horizontal temperature difference, or the front.  As a general rule, a strong front has a jet stream directly above it that is parallel to it.  Figure B shows that jet streams are positioned just below the tropopause (the red lines) and above the fronts, in this case, the boundaries between two circulation cells carrying air of different temperatures.
