<span>The magnetic field of the Earth serves a useful purpose in deflecting Solar radiation. Without the magnetic field there is much more charged-particle radiation striking the surface. The auroras would occur everywhere instead of at the magnetic poles. Compass needles wouldn't work, and then they would flip direction.. The magnetic field IS DECREASING and could go to zero and reverse sometime in the next few tens-of-thousands of years.</span>

what is the structure of XeO2F2???i know its hybridization as sp3d but cannot quite understand its diagram in free space,help an

skelet666 [1.2K]

The shape of XeO₂F₂ is Trigonal bi-pyramidal see-saw tetrahedron (see attached pictures)
- As you said the hybridization of Xe here is sp³d so its geometry has to be Trigonal bi-pyramidal in which F atom located on axial positions but for the final shape we exclude lone pair on Xe to give see-saw shape (see second picture)
- Remember that we have 5 pairs (4 bond pairs + 1 lone pair) and we have to place lone pair at equatorial position.

A wooden tool is found at an archaeological site. Estimate the age of the tool using the following information: A 100 gram sampl

lord [1]

Answer:

2578.99 years

Explanation:

Given that:

100 g of the wood is emitting 1120 β-particles per minute

Also,

1 g of the wood is emitting 11.20 β-particles per minute

Given, Decay rate = 15.3 % per minute per gram

So,

Concentration left can be calculated as:-

C left = $[A_t]=\frac{11.20\ per\ minute}{15.3\ per\ minute\ per\ gram}\times [A_0]= 0.7320[A_0]$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Also, Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{5730}\ years^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.000120968 year⁻¹

Time =?

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

So,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-0.000120968\times t}$

$\frac {0.7320[A_0]}{[A_0]}=e^{-0.000120968\times t}$

$0.7320=e^{-0.000120968\times t}$

$ln\ 0.7320=-0.000120968\times t$

<u>t = 2578.99 years</u>

what are some of the relationships among thermal energy, kinetic energy, particle movement, and temperature?

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

Explanation:

Thermal energy measures the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The greater the motion of particles, the higher a substance's temperature and thermal energy.
