The isotope silicon 32 decays into phosphorus 32. Silicon 32 has a half-life of 170 years and can be used to find the age of roc
eduard

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

B. In a given rock sample, the amount of Silicon-32 isotopes gets divided in half about every 170yrs.

This is the concept of half-life. Half life is the time take for half of a radioactive isotope to disintegrate. The shorter the half life the faster the isotope disintegrates.

From the question, we were told that it would take 170yrs for half of the isotope of Silicon to disintegrate to Phosphorus. This is the half life.

C. The half life can be used to determine the amount of Si-32 that has decayed from the time closure temperature was reached.

The closure temperature is very important in radioactivity. It is the temperature at which a system has cooled and there is no resulting disintegration of parent and daughter isotopes.

From first order kinetics, we know that the rate at which radioactive elements decay at any time is directly proportional to the number of radioactive atoms present. A knowledge of the half life helps to figure out the number of atoms that has decayed in time.

Which Supreme Court decision did Brown versus Board of Education 1954 overturn
natita [175]

Answer:

The decision of "racial segregation in public school" did Brown versus Board of education 1954 overturn.

Explanation:

The well known supreme court case in 1954 of Brown versus Board of Education of Topeka in which the justices had taken control unanimously over the racial segregation of children in the public school are completely unconstitutional. The brown versus Board of Education is the biggest milestone of the civil rights movement, which has helped to establish the precedents that are being "separate-but-equal" education rights and other services are not equal at all.
