Scientists use siesmic waves also known as s-waves. These only go through solid layers not liquid. So when they reach a liquid level the wave shoots back and the scientists are able to determine what layers are solid and which are not.

The half life for the decay of radium is 1620 years what is the rate constant
Lilit [14]
Decay is a type of degradation reaction and thus is considered a first order reaction. thus the formula goes like this.
 
rate constant= 0.693/half life

so here...

rate constant= 0.693/1620 year^-1

A 248-g piece of copper is dropped into 390 mL of water at 22.6 °C. The final temperature of the water was measured as 39.9 °C.
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Initial temperature of copper = 67.1°C

Explanation:

Data

mass Copper = 248 g

volume Water = 390 ml

T1 water = 22.6°C

T2           = 39.9°C

T1 copper = ?

Specific heat water = 1 cal/g°C

Specific heat copper = 0.092 cal/g°C

Formula       copper             water

Heat is negative for copper because it releases heat

                  - mCp(T2 - T1) = mCp(T2 - T1)                  

                  - (248)(39.9 - T1) = 390 (1)((39.9 - 22.6)           Substitution

                 -9895.2 + 248T1 = 390(17.3)                             Simplification

                 -9895.2 + 248T1 = 6747

                 248 T1 = 6747 + 9895.2

                 248 T1 = 16642.2

                 T1 = 16642.2 / 248

                 T1 = 67.1 °C                                                         Result
