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.

If a compound contains a poly atomic ion then what type of compound is it A. Convalent Compound B. Ionic Compound
den301095 [7]

Answer:

B. Ionic Compound

Explanation:

An ionic compound is that compound which contains a positively charged ion called CATION and a negatively charged ion called ANION. The cation loses or transfers electrons to the anion, hence, making the former (cation) positive and the latter (anion) negative.

A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one type of atom e.g OH-, NO3²-, CO3²- etc. A polyatomic ion usually has an overall charge formed from the charges of the individual atoms that makes it up. For example, in OH-, the overall charge is -1.

Since a polyatomic ion can have an overall positive or negative charge, it must enter a reaction with another ion that complements it i.e. a negative polyatomic ion will react with a positive ion to neutralize its charge. Hence, this forms an IONIC COMPOUND. This is why most compounds with polyatomic ions are IONIC COMPOUNDS.

For example, CaCO3 is an ionic compound formed when Ca²+ (cation) reacts with the polyatomic anion: CO3²-

A student is instructed to make 1 L of a 2.0 M solution of CaCl2 using dry salt. How should he do this?
Pachacha [2.7K]
<span>The student should follow following steps to make 1 L of </span>2.0 M CaCl₂.<span>
<span>
1. First he should calculate the number of moles of 2.0 M CaCl</span></span>₂ in 1 L solution.<span>

</span>Molarity of the solution = 2.0 M<span>
Volume of solution which should be prepared = 1 L

Molarity = number of moles / volume of the solution

Hence, number of moles in 1 L = 2 mol

2. Find out the mass of dry CaCl</span>₂ in 2 moles.<span>

moles = mass / molar mass

Moles of CaCl₂ = 2 mol</span><span>
Molar mass of CaCl₂ = </span><span>110.98 g/mol

Hence, mass of CaCl</span>₂ = 2 mol x <span>110.98 g/mol
                                     = 221.96 g

3. Weigh the mass accurately 

4. Then take a cleaned and dry1 L volumetric flask and place a funnel top of it. Then carefully add the salt into the volumetric flask and finally wash the funnel and watch glass with de-ionized water. That water also should be added into the volumetric flask.

5. Then add some de-ionized water into the volumetric flask and swirl well until all salt are dissolved.

<span>6. Then top up to mark of the volumetric flask carefully. 
</span>
</span>
7. As the final step prepared solution should be labelled.
