Answer:

Scientists will be able to use relative dating and absolute dating to determine when the failure occurred.

Explanation:

Scientists will be able to use relative dating, because it is the method capable of determining an order of events that occurred in the past by relating the rock with that failure to a rock without failure or with different failures, without the need to determine an absolute age of when the failure happened, however revealing a relative, approximate date.

It will also be possible to use absolute dating, which will give a more precise age on the fault present in the rock, using a chronological age that will be determined by observing the physical and chemical properties of the rock. This technique shows the age of the event in numbers, as opposed to relative dating.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case the answer would be

Water is a polar molecule with positive and negative side

Now since these negative and positives are present in the water molecule . In easy terms when a substance reacts with water .the negative part of water ( oxygen ) reacts with the positive part of the substance and the positive part of the water ( hydrogen) reacts with negative part of the substance .if you look at the reason . Water is held up by one of the strongest attraction forces available .since most substances have weaker attraction forces between them ,therefore water can easily overcome them with its forces. Thus giving it the ability to dissolve a variety of substances

If copper is heated with iron oxide there is no obvious reaction because

copper is less reactive than iron.

On a reactivity chart, copper is far below iron. This makes it impossible for a replacement reaction to occur, so the equation doesn't change.

I hope I helped!

The molecular weight of vitamin C , C6H8O6 is 176.12 grams over mol
IgorC [24]

Answer:

0.0250 g.

Explanation:

∵ no. of moles (n) = mass / molar mass.

<em>∴ mass of Vitamine C = (n)(molar mass)</em> = (0.000142 mol)(176.12 g/mol) = 0.02501 g = <em>0.0250 g. "three significant figures"</em>

An example of a solid solution is copper true or false
garik1379 [7]
This is false, because copper is an element.
To be solution, it has to have at least 2 different substances. Solid solution of metals is often called alloy.
