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.

A certain weak acid, HA, has a Ka value of 2.6×10−7. Calculate the percent ionization of HA in a 0.10 M solution.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The percent ionization is 0,16%

Explanation:

The percent ionization is defined as the number of ions that exist in a substance.

PI=\frac{[A-]}{[HA]} x100

First, we find the [A-] using the ka equation

HA ⇄ H^{+} + A^{-}

[H+] = [A-]

Ka=\frac{[H+][A-]}{[HA]}\\ \\

since the ionization constant is very small we can assume that the final concentration of [HA] is the same

Ka=\frac{[H+]^{2} }{[HA]} \\\\

[H+]=\sqrt[2]{Ka.[HA]} \\\\

[H+] =\sqrt{(2,610^{-7} )(0,1)}  = 1,61210^{-4}

Now we calculate the percent ionization using these values

PI=\frac{1,61210^{-4} }{0,1} X100

PI=0,16%

Explanation:

12.5/100=1/8, 1/8*2=2/8=1/4 1/4*2=1/2 1/2*2 = 1 (whole)

we multiplyed 1/8 by two three times to get 1 so 8/3 hours is the answer
