<span>The radioisotope used to date rock formations 50 000 years ago is Uranium. This radioactive uranium isotope having a mass number of 235 and its symbol is U, its atomic number is 92, and the mass number is 238, comprising 0.715 percent of natural uranium. When bombarded with neutrons it undergoes fission with the release of energy.</span>

How can you tell whether a fat contains primarily saturated or unsaturated fatty acids?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
In terms of physically observing it, if the substance is a lions based substance, like oil or margarine, depending on the state, this will inform how well the hydrocarbons can pack together well or not, or will there be bends in the ring preventing the molecules from packing well.

Liquids are unsaturated
Solids are saturated.

Р<br> +<br> 02<br> =<br> P4O6 <br> balance the equation
sergejj [24]

To balance a chemical equation, both sides should have equal mass, or in other words both sides should have same number of atoms as to follow the conservation of mass rule.

P + O₂ = P₄O₆

LHS:

Number of Phosphorus atoms = 1 atom

Number of Oxygen atoms = 2 atoms

RHS:

Number of Phosphorous atoms = 4 atoms

Number of Oxygen atoms = 6 atoms

Also since P₄O₆ has the most number of atoms we will make the LHS equalize to P₄O₆.

Difference between Phosphorous atoms in LHS to RHS = 3

Since phosphorous is a monatomic we need 3 phosphorous atoms extra

Difference between Oxygen atoms is LHS to RHS = 4

But Oxygen is diatomic, so we need 4/2 = 2 Oxygen molecules

Now lets see if it is balanced

P + 3P + O₂ + 2O₂ -------> P₄O₆

               4P + 3O₂ ------>  P₄O₆

LHS:

Phosphorous atoms = 4 atoms

Oxygen atoms = 3 × 2 = 6 atoms

RHS:

Phosphorous atoms = 4 atoms

Oxygen atoms = 6 atoms

LHS = RHS

Therefore the balanced equation is 4P + 3O₂ =  P₄O₆

Happy to help :)

Calculate the ph of a 0.17 m solution of c6h5nh3no3 (kb for c6h5nh2 = 3.8 x 10-10). record your ph value to 2 decimal places.
MatroZZZ [7]
<span>Mass of the solution = 0.17m
 Kb for C6H5NH2 = 3.8 x 10^-10
 We know Ka for C6H5NH2 = 1.78x10^-11
  We have Kw = Ka x Kb => Ka = Kw / Kb
  => (C2H5NH2)(H3O^+)/(C2H5NH3^+) => 1.78x10^-11 = K^2 / 0.17
 K^2 = 3 x 10^-12 => K = 1.73 x 10^-6.
 pH = -log(Kw(H3O^+)) = -log(1.73 x 10^-6) = 5.76</span>

lora16 [44]

Explanation:

workdone = force \times distance \\ W = (2.6 \times  {10}^{ - 4} ) \times (3.7 \times  {10}^{ - 3} ) \\ W = 9.62 \times  {10}^{ - 7}  \: joules
