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.

Gases with high molecular weights diffuse more slowly than gases with lower molecular weights.
Rom4ik [11]
The answer to this item is TRUE. This can be explained through the Graham's law. This law states that the rate at which gases diffuse is inversely proportional to the square root of their densities which is also related to their molecular masses.
