Uranium-235 has a half-life of 713 million years. Would uranium-235 or carbon-14 be more useful for dating a fossil from Precamb

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.

0.75 moles of an unknown acid are dissolved in water. If 0.42 moles of H3O+ form, what was the percent dissociation of the unkno
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

56 %

Explanation:

The percent dissociation of a weak acid can be defined as:

Moles of weak acid that produced H₃O⁺ species / Total number of weak acid moles * 100%

We are given all the required data to <u>calculate the percent dissociation</u>:

0.42 mol / 0.75 mol * 100 % = 56 %

The percent dissociation is 56%.

The density of copper decreases as temperature increases (as does the density of most substances). Which change occurs in a samp
azamat

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As we know that density the amount of mass present in per unit volume.

Mathematically,      Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

So, it means that density is inversely proportional to volume. Hence, when there will be decrease in density of a substance then there will be increase in its volume. That is, expansion of substance will take place.

Also, boiling point of copper is 2,562 degree celsius but we are heating it up to a temperature of 95 degree celsius. This means that copper will remain in liquid state at this temperature.

Thus, we can conclude that a change which occurs in a sample of copper is that copper sample will expand.
