Answer:
0.147 billion years = 147.35 million years.
Explanation:
- It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope isotope obeys first order kinetics.
- Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.
- If reactant has initial concentration [A₀], after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).
- Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.
- The half-life of Potassium-40 is 1.25 billion years.
- For, first order reactions:
<em>k = ln(2)/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).</em>
Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.
t1/2 is the half-life of the reaction.
∴ k =0.693/(t1/2) = 0.693/(1.25 billion years) = 0.8 billion year⁻¹.
- Also, we have the integral law of first order reaction:
<em>kt = ln([A₀]/[A]),</em>
<em></em>
where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 0.8 billion year⁻¹).
t is the time of the reaction (t = ??? year).
[A₀] is the initial concentration of (Potassium-40) ([A₀] = 100%).
[A] is the remaining concentration of (Potassium-40) ([A] = 88.88%).
- At the time needed to be determined:
<em>8 times as many potassium-40 atoms as argon-40 atoms. Assume the argon-40 only comes from radioactive decay.</em>
- If we start with 100% Potassium-40:
∴ The remaining concentration of Potassium-40 ([A] = 88.88%).
and that of argon-40 produced from potassium-40 decayed = 11.11%.
- That the ratio of (remaining Potassium-40) to (argon-40 produced from potassium-40 decayed) is (8: 1).
∴ t = (1/k) ln([A₀]/[A]) = (1/0.8 billion year⁻¹) ln(100%/88.88%) = 0.147 billion years = 147.35 million years.
Answer:
A. 11
Explanation:
atoms are made of three types of sub atomic particles - protons, neutrons and electrons
Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral.
Protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus and electrons orbit around the nucleus in energy shells.
Atoms make up an element and atoms are neutral charged with an equal number of protons and electrons. Neutral atom of sodium would therefore have an equal number of positive charges and negative charges.
Since Na has 11 protons, for it to be neutral it would have 11 electrons
Answer:
A. London dispersion
Explanation:
London dispersion force is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles.
a glycosidic bond or glycosidic linkage is a type of covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate (sugar) molecule to another group, which may or may not be another carbohydrate.
Formation of ethyl glucoside : Glucose and ethanol combine to form ethyl glucoside and water. The reaction often favors formation of the α glycosidic bond as shown due to the anomeric effect.
A glycosidic bond is formed between the hemiacetal or hemiketal group of a saccharide (or a molecule derived from a saccharide) and the hydroxyl group of some compound such as an alcohol. A substance containing a glycosidic bond is a glycoside.
