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%

Answer:

Cl_2+2NaI\rightarrow I_2+2NaCl

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the described chemical reaction, Cl2 replaces iodine in NaI in order to produce I2 and NaCl:

Cl_2+NaI\rightarrow I_2+NaCl

It is possible to realize how chlorine replaces iodine in agreement with the single displacement reaction. Moreover, since chlorine and iodine atoms are not correctly balanced, we add a 2 in front of both NaI and NaCl in order to do so:

Cl_2+2NaI\rightarrow I_2+2NaCl

Best regards!

Mr Singh is cooking using wo pans of oiling water. Both pans are made of steel, but one pan has a much thicker base than the oth
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When either pan is heated, energy is transferred via conduction. Conduction is the process by which heat is transferred through a material, the average position of the particles remaining the same.

When the pans are heated, the particles in each pan vibrate faster and transfer this energy rapidly to neighboring particles.

The pan with a thicker base has more particles in it than the pan with lighter weight base. Note that, The rate of heat transfer is inversely proportional to the thickness of the material in question. Hence, the thicker the base, the more the number of particles present and the longer the time it takes for the food to cook.

The molar heat of fusion of gold is 12.550 kJ mol–1. At its melting point, how much mass of melted gold must solidify to release
KATRIN_1 [288]

The mass of melted gold to release the energy would be  3, 688. 8 Kg

<h3>How to determine the mass</h3>

The formula for quantity of energy is given thus;

Q = n × HF

Where n represents number of moles

HF  represents  heat of fusion

To find the number of moles, we have

235.0 = n × 12.550

number of moles = \frac{235}{12. 550} = 18. 725 moles

Note that molar mass of Gold is 197g/ mol

Let's note that;

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 18. 725 × 197

Mass = 3, 688. 8 Kg

Thus, the mass of melted gold to release the energy would be  3, 688. 8 Kg
