A meteor contains 0.556 g of pb-206 to every 1.00 g of u-238. assuming that the meteor did not contain any pb-206 at the time of

its formation, determine the age of the meteor. u-238 decays to pb-206 with t1/2 = 4.5 x 109 y

Answer is: 2,94·10⁹ years.
m(Pb) = 0,556 g.
n(Pb) = m÷M = 0,556g÷206g/mol = 0,0027mol.
m(Au) = 1,00g.
n(Au) = 1g÷238g/mol =0,0042mol.
n(Pb)/n(Au) = 0,575
t1/2 = 4,5·10⁹ years.
λ = 0,693÷t1/2, λ = 0,693÷4,5·10⁹ = 0,154·10⁻⁹.
λ-decay constant
Use this formula: λ·t = ln(1+ n(Pb)/n(Au)
ln - <span>natural log.
</span>t = 0,453÷0,154·10⁻⁹ = 2,94·10⁹ years.

The volume of a gas at 2.0 atm is 3.0 L. What is the volume of the gas at 1.5 atm at the same temperature?
Andru [333]

<u>Answer:</u> The final volume of the gas comes out to be 4 L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume with changing pressure, we use the equation given by Boyle's law.

This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

Mathematically,

P\propto \frac{1}{V}      (At constant temperature and number of moles)

The equation given by this law is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1\text{ and }V_1 are initial pressure and volume.

P_2\text{ and }V_2 are final pressure and volume.

We are given:

P_1=2.0atm\\V_1=3L\\P_2=1.5atm\\V_2=?L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2atm\times 3L=1.5atm\times V_2\\\\V_2=4L

Hence, the final volume of the gas will be 4 L.

ioda

Answer:

The fraction of water body necessary to keep the temperature constant is 0,0051.

Explanation:

Heat:

Q=m*Ce*ΔT

Q= heat  (unknown)

m= mass  (unknown)

Ce= especific heat (1 cal/g*°C)

ΔT= variation of temperature  (2.75 °C)  

Latent heat:

ΔE=∝mΔHvap

ΔE= latent heat

m= mass  (unknown)

∝= mass fraction (unknown)

ΔHvap= enthalpy of vaporization (539.4 cal/g)

Since Q and E are equal, we can match both equations:

m*Ce*ΔT=∝*m*ΔHvap

Mass fraction is:

∝=\frac{Ce*ΔT}{ΔHvap}

∝=\frac{(1 cal/g*°C)*2.75°C}{539.4 cal/g}

∝=0,0051
