The old age of rock when examined is 21.4 million years if the ratio of uranium-235 to lead-207 is found to be 125,000:875,000. the half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years.

<h3>Decaying Equation </h3>

P = [P + D] (1/2) ^(t/t(1/2))

where,

P represent the present parent amount

D is the present daughter amount

t(1/2) is the half life time period

t is the actual age

We know that,

t = (log[(P+D) /P] / log2) × t(1/2) ----------(1)

Given,

P = 97.6

D = 2.1

Ratio of P and D can be calculated as

P/D = 97.6/2.1

= 46.476

By substituting all the values in eq(1), we get

t = [(log 46.476 +1)/log2] × t(1/2)

Given,

The half life of U —Pb decay is 700 million years.

So,

t = [(log 46.476 +1)/log2] × 700

t = 21.4 million years.

Thus, we calculated that the the old age of rock when examined is 21.4 million years.

DISCLAIMER:

The given question is misprint on portal.

Here is the correct form of question:

A rock is examined to determine its age, and the ratio of uranium-235 to lead-207 is found to be 125,000:875,000. the half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years.

How old is the rock if it contains Uranium-235/ lead-207 ratio of 97.6 to 2.1?

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:- 2.40*10^1^0atoms

Solution:- It is a simple unit conversion problem. We could solve this using dimensional analysis.

We know that, 1 US dollar = 100 cents

1 cent  = 1 US penny

So, 1 US dollar = 100 US pennies

1g=10^6\mu g

Let's make the set up starting with 1 penny as:

1penny(\frac{$1}{100pennies})(\frac{1\mu g}{$1000})(\frac{1g}{10^6\mu g})(\frac{6.02*10^2^3atoms}{251g})

= 2.40*10^1^0atoms

Therefore, we can bye 2.40*10^1^0atoms of Cf in one US penny.

Based on the standard free energies of formation, which of the following reactions represent a feasible way to synthesize the pr
yuradex [85]

Explanation:

According the equation of Gibb's free energy -

∆G = ∆H -T∆S

∆G = is the change in gibb's free energy

∆H = is the change in enthalpy

T = temperature

∆S = is the change in entropy .

And , the sign of the  ΔG , determines whether the reaction is Spontaneous or non Spontaneous or at equilibrium ,

i.e. ,

if

• ΔG < 0 , the reaction is Spontaneous

• ΔG > 0 , the reaction is non Spontaneous

• ΔG = 0 , the reaction is at equilibrium

a.

N₂(g) + H₂(g)  → N₂H₄ (g)   ; ΔG⁰f = 159.3 kJ/mol

ΔG > 0 , the reaction is non Spontaneous  , the reaction is not feasible in the forward direction

b.

2Na(s) + O₂(g) → Na₂O₂ (s)   ; ΔG⁰ f = − 447.7kJ/mol

ΔG < 0 , the reaction is Spontaneous  , the reaction is feasible in the forward direction .

c.

C(s) + 2S(s)  →  CS₂ (g)   ; ΔG⁰f = 67.1 kJ/mol

ΔG > 0 , the reaction is non Spontaneous  , the reaction is not feasible in the forward direction

d.

Ca(s) + 12 O₂ (g) → CaO (s) ;  ΔG⁰f = −604.0 kJ/mol

ΔG < 0 , the reaction is Spontaneous  , the reaction is feasible in the forward direction .
