Which of the following is a radioisotope used to date rock formations older than 50,000 years old?

1 answer:

7 0

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.

the pressure in a sealed plastic container is 108 kPa at 41 degrees Celsius. What is the pressure when the temperature drops to

Katarina [22]

Answer: The new pressure will be 101.46 kPa.

Explanation:

To calculate the new pressure, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume.

The equation given by this law is:

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }T_1$ are initial pressure and temperature.

$P_2\text{ and }T_2$ are final pressure and temperature.

We are given:

By using conversion factor: $T(K)=T(^oC)+273$

$P_1=108kPa\\T_1=41^oC=314K\\P_2=?kPa\\T_2=22^oC=295K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{108kPa}{314K}=\frac{P_2}{295K}\\\\P_2=101.46kPa$

Hence, the new pressure will be 101.46 kPa.

Twenty-four grams of magnesium metal reacts with sixteen grams of oxygen gas to form magnesium oxide. According to the law of co

DedPeter [7]

The law of conservation of mass dictates that the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products. Thus:
mass(MgO) = mass(Mg) + mass(O)
mass(MgO) = 24 + 16
mass(MgO) = 40 g

The third option is correct.

Describe the movement of electrons when the atom colors by applying ground state and excitement state?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations.The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits. For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum
