Answer: Uranium-235.

Radioactive isotopes are used to determine the age of antique objects, including fossils.

The half-life time of the radioactive elements is what permits the process of dating.

The half-life of C-14 is too short to be useful to date too old objects.

Precambrian time is the most antique era. C-14 hal-life is about 5730 years and Precambrian time is millions or billions of years ago. Given that the hal-life of U-235 is 704 million years it is appropiate to date the fossils from the Precambrian era.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

450. g of 0.173 % KCN solution contains 779 mg of KCN.

Explanation:

Mass of the solution = m

Mass of the KCN in solution = 779 mg

Mass by mass percentage of KCN solution = 0.173%

(m/m)\%=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100

0.173\%=\frac{779 mg}{m}\times 100

m=\frac{779 mg}{0.173}\times 100= 450,289 mg

1 mg = 0.001 g

m = 450,289 mg × 0.001 g = 450.289 mg ≈ 450. g

450. g of 0.173 % KCN solution contains 779 mg of KCN.

What is the volume of 1.60 grams of O2 gas at STP? (5 points)
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

  • <u><em>1.12 liters</em></u>

Explanation:

<u>Calculating number of moles</u>

  • Molar mass of O₂ = 32 g
  • n = Given weight / Molar mass
  • n = 1.6/32
  • n = 0.05 moles

<u>At STP</u>

  • One mole of O₂ occupies 22.4 L
  • Therefore, 0.05 moles will occupy :
  • 22.4 L x 0.05 = <u><em>1.12 L</em></u>
