The half-life of Th-232 is 1.405 × 10¹⁰ years  

Time elapsed = 2.8 x 10⁹ years  

Equation of radioactive decay:

A = A₀ = (1/2)^ t/t₁/₂

Thus, the percentage of thorium-232 in the rock that was dated at 2.8 billions year = 87.1%

Using these metal ion/metal standard reduction potentials calculate cell potential for Cu2+(aq) + Cd(s) →Cd2+(aq)+ Cu(s) Cu2+(aq
Katena32 [7]

Solution :

Cd(s) ---------------------->  Cd^{+2} (aq) + 2e^-      ,     E_0  =   0.34 v

Cu^{+2}  (aq)  +   2e^-  ------------> Cu (s)             ,     E_0  =  -0.04 v

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cd(s)  +  Cu^{+2}  (aq)  ------------->  Cd^{+2} (aq)  +  Cu (s)   ,      E_0  =  0.30 v  

The cell potential is defined as the measure of \text{ potential difference }  between the \text{two half cells} of an electrochemical cell.

If glucose. galactose, and fructose all have the same formula, what is the difference about them
enot [183]
Glucose is blood sugar and is the main source for metabolism. Galactose is half of "milk sugar" (aka lactose). Fructose is "fruit sugar." it is true that all of these are 6- carbon sugars, but its how they are rearranged. "Shape determines function."

Answer: Correct option is B)

The standard enthalpy change of formation of a compound is the enthalpy change which occurs when one mole of the compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions. The equation showing the standard enthalpy change of formation of water is
