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 hot air balloon is filled with 15 moles helium gas and 5 moles nitrogen gas. What is the volume of the balloon at 1.01 atm and
kvasek [131]

<u>Given:</u>

Moles of He = 15

Moles of N2 = 5

Pressure (P) = 1.01 atm

Temperature (T) = 300 K

<u>To determine:</u>

The volume (V) of the balloon

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P = pressure of the gas

V = volume

n = number of moles of the gas

T = temperature

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

In this case we have:-

n(total) = 15 + 5 = 20 moles

P = 1.01 atm and T = 300K

V = nRT/P = 20 moles * 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K * 300 K/1.01 atm = 487.7 L

Ans: Volume of the balloon is around 488 L
