What property should a radioisotope used for dating have?

1 answer:

7 0

The property a radioisotope used for dating should have is Its half-life should be similar to the age of the fossil and is denoted as option B.

<h3>What is a Radioisotope?</h3>

This is an element which is unstable and releases radiation to achieve its stability.

The half-life of the element used in dating should be similar to that of the fossil for easy comparisons and accuracy.

At a festival, spherical balloons with a radius of 280. Cm are to be inflated with hot air and released. The air at the festival

evablogger [386]

Answer:

8608.18 balloons

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

Data needed:

Enthalpy of propane formation: 103.85kJ / mol

Specific heat capacity of air: 1.009J · g ° C

Density of air at 100 ° C: 0.946kg / m3

Density of propane at 100 ° C: 1.440kg / m3

First we will calculate the propane heat (C3H8)

3000g * (1mol / 44g) * (103.85kJ / mol) * (1000J / 1kJ) = 7.08068 * 10 ^ 6 J

Then we can calculate the mass of the air with the heat formula

Q = mc delta T

m = Q / c delta T = (7.08068 * 10 ^ 6 J) / (1.009J / kg ° C * (100-25) ° C) =

m = 93566.96kg

We now calculate the volume of a balloon.

V = 4/3 * pi * r ^ 3 = 4/3 * 3.14 * 1.4m ^ 3 = 11.49m ^ 3

Now we calculate the mass of the balloon

mg = 0.946kg / m3 * 11.49m ^ 3 = 10.87kg

The amount of balloons is

93566.96kg / 10.87kg = 8608.18 balloons

Heat is transferred by conduction through a wall of thickness 0.87 m. What is the rate of heat transfer if the walls thermal con

erik [133]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Thickness (dx) = 0.87 m, thermal conductivity (k) = 13 W/m-K

Surface area (A) = 5 $m^{2}$ , $T_{1} = 14^{o}C$

$T_{2} = 93^{o}C$

According to Fourier's law,

Q = $-kA \frac{dT}{dx}$

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Q = $-kA \frac{dT}{dx}$

= $-13 W/m-k \times 5 m^{2} \times \frac{(14 - 93)}{0.87 m}$

= 5902.298 W

Therefore, we can conclude that the rate of heat transfer is 5902.298 W.

How do atoms form ions

Cerrena [4.2K]

Ions are electrically charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons. They have the same electronic structures as noble gases. Metal atoms form positive ions, while non-metal atoms form negative ions. The strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions are called ionic bonds.

A sample liquid is heated in a closed container until it changes to gas.what happens to the size of the particles in the sample

murzikaleks [220]

Nothing happens to these particles when it comes to size however if it were to be speed, the sample would increase.
Fact: The size of a particle will never change!
