Answer:

Age=2.52*10^9 years

Explanation:

To determine the age, we need to know how much U have become Pb, so first we have to calculate the Pb moles present in a sample:

n_{Pb}=\frac{0.337g}{206g/mol}=0.00164 mol

n_{U}=\frac{1 g}{238g/mol}=0.0042 mol

The percentage of U degradation:

P=\frac{n_{Pb}}{n_{Pb}+n_{U}}

P=\frac{0.00164}{0.00164+0.0042}=0.28

Assuming that the life time is linear:

Age=\frac{4.5*10^9 years}{0.5 life time}*0.28 life time

Age=2.52*10^9 years

Que tipo de mistura tem a agua mineral?
QveST [7]

Answer:

mezcla homogénea

El agua en sí es un ejemplo de mezcla homogénea. Todo el agua, excepto la más pura, contiene minerales y gases disueltos. Estos se disuelven en todo el agua, por lo que la mezcla se presenta en la misma fase y es homogénea.

An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons. What is the name of this element?
DedPeter [7]

Given :

An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons.

To Find :

The name of this element.

Solution :

We know, element with atomic number ( number of protons ) 12 and valance electrons is Magnesium.

Now, isotope of magnesium of proton with 14 neutrons is Mg-16 .

Therefore, name of element is Mg-16 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Breaking a solid reactant into pieces results in
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

If one of the reactants is a solid, only the particles at the surface can partake in the reaction. Breaking the reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface and more particles are exposed to the reaction mixture. This results in an increased frequency of collisions and therefore a faster rate of reaction
