The half life for the radioactive decay of rubidium-87 to strontium-87 is 4.88 × 10 years. Suppose nuclear chemical analysis sho

ws that there is 0.728 mmol of strontium-87 for every 1.000 mmol of rubidium-87 in a certain sample of rock. Calculate the age of the rock. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

Most igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks contain rubidium (Rb) and strontium (Sr) in detectable amounts. However, the concentrations of these elements are almost always less than 1 percent, and they are therefore rarely determined in routine chemical analyses. Neither rubidium nor strontium is a major constituent in the common rock-forming silicate minerals, although strontium does form a carbonate (strontianite) and a sulfate (celestite) which are found in some hydrothermal deposits and certain sedimentary rocks, particularly carbonates.

A and b are two gases that are mixed together: 2.50 mol a is mixed with 0.850 mol b. if the final pressure of the mixture is 1.7
USPshnik [31]

Partial pressure of gas A is 1.31 atm and that of gas B is 0.44 atm.

The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture can be calculated as

Pi = Xi x P

Where Pi is the partial pressure; Xi is mole fraction and P is the total pressure of the mixture.

Therefore we have Pa = Xa x P and Pb = Xb x P

Let us find Xa and Xb

Χa = mol a/ total moles = 2.50/(2.50+0.85) = 2.50/3.35 = 0.746

Xb = mol b/total moles = 0.85/(2.50+0.85) = 0.85/3.35 = 0.254

Total pressure P is given as 1.75 atm

Pa = Xa x P = 0.746 x 1.75 = 1.31atm

Partial pressure of gas A is 1.31 atm

Pb = Xb x P = 0.254 x 1.75 = 0.44atm

Partial pressure of gas B is 0.44 atm.
