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.

vredina [299]

Answer : The correct expression for equilibrium constant will be:

K_c=\frac{[C]^8}{[A]^4[B]^2}

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

4A+2B\rightleftharpoons 8C

The expression of K_c will be,

K_c=\frac{[C]^8}{[A]^4[B]^2}

Therefore, the correct expression for equilibrium constant will be, K_c=\frac{[C]^8}{[A]^4[B]^2}
