<u>Answer:
</u>
The build-up of three oxygen created our ozone layer around two billion years ago.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- The ozone layer is a part of the stratosphere which is located right after the troposphere in the atmosphere of the Earth.
- The ozone gas is made up of the abundance of three oxygen molecules combining with the ultraviolet radiation emitted by the Sun.
- The development of the ozone layer happened around two billion years ago when the oxygen concentration levels on the planet began to rise slowly and gradually.
Answer:
The age of the rock = 2800.6 million years = 2.8 billion years.
A simple method of analysis similar to Carbon dating is used to obtain the required age of the rock. Radioactive substances decay according to first order reaction kinetics. So, plugging all the required parameters into the general equation for amount of substance left in a first order decay gives us the age of the rock.
Explanation:
Half life of Uranium-235 = 700 million years (from literature)
The decay of radioactive substances follow first order reaction kinetics.
The general equation is given as
A(t) = A₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ
A(t) = Amount of radioactive substance left after a particular time = 6.25%
A₀ = initial amount of radioactive substance = 100%
t = time that has passed since the beginning = age of the rock = ?
k = decay constant
The decay constant is related to the half life (T) through the relation,
k = (In 2)/T
k = (0.693/700) = 0.00099 /million years
A(t) = A₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ
6.25 = 100 e⁻ᵏᵗ
0.0625 = e⁻ᵏᵗ
In e⁻ᵏᵗ = In 0.0625 = -2.7726
-kt = - 2.7726
t = (2.7726/0.00099) = 2800.6 million years
t = 2.8 billion years.
