Answer:

Age of rock = 722 million years old

Explanation:

Using the formula; <em>fraction remaining = 0.5ⁿ</em>

where n = number of half lives elapsed.

However, from the given values, fraction remaining = 1.000 - 0.0105

fraction remaining = 0.9895

Substituting in the formula to determine the number of half-lives:

0.9895 = 0.5ⁿ

log 0.9895 = n log 0.5  

-0.0045842 = -0.30103 n

number of half lives elapsed, n = 0.0152

Therefore age of rock = 0.0152 x 4.75 x 10¹⁰ years =  7.22 x10⁸ years

Age of rock = 722 million years old

True or false? the iron recommendation for girls exceeds that of boys during adolescence.
sashaice [31]

It is true that the iron recommendation for girls exceeds that of boys during adolescence.

During an adolescence, girls and boys require iron for a large growth spurt and the gain of adult phenotypes and biologic rhythms.

In this period of the life, iron recommendation increase in both girls and boys, because of the increase in lean body mass, the expansion of the total blood volume, the increase and start of menstruation at girls.

Iron is essential for oxygen transport, red blood cell creation, cognitive performance and immunological function.

The overall iron requirements for girls are up to twice as boys.

Ethanol (c2h5oh) melts at -114°c. the enthalpy of fusion is 5.02 kj/mol. the specific heats of solid and liquid ethanol are 0.9
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 4.18925 kJ heat is needed to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

Explanation:

Temperature of Solid C_2H_5OH=-135^oC=138 K(0^oC=273K)

Melting temperature of Solid C_2H_5OH=114^oC=159 K

Temperature of liquid C_2H_5OH=-50^oC=223K

Specific heats of solid  ethanol = 0.97 J/gK

Specific heats of liquid ethanol = 2.3 J/gK

Heat required to melt the the 25 g solid C_2H_5OH at 159 K

\Delta T_1 = 159 K - 138 K = 21 K

Q_1=mc\Delta T= 25\times 0.97J/gK\times 21 K=509.25 J

Heat required to melt and raise the temperature of C_2H_5OH upto 223 K

\Delta T_2 = 223 K - 159 K  = 64 K

Q_2=mc\Delta T= 25\times 2.3J/gK\times 64 K=3680 J

Total heat to convert solid ethanol to liquid ethanol at given temperature :

Q_1+Q_2=509.25 J+3680 J=4189.25 J=4.18925 kJ (1kJ=1000J)

Hence, 4.18925 kJ of heat will be required to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

In ionic compounds, ________ lose their valence electrons to form positively charged ________. nonmetals, anions metals, polyato
Keith_Richards [23]
Answer:
            <span>In ionic compounds, <u>Metals</u> lose their valence electrons to form positively charged Cations. 

Explanation:
                   Metals have the ability to loose elctrons readily. For example metals of Group IA and Group IIA readily looses electrons in order to obtain Noble Gas Configuration. On the other hand Non-metals tends to gain electrons and acquire negative charge. While Ions are made when an an element gain or loose electrons. After loosing electrons element get positive charge which is called as Cation while on gaining electron it gets negative charge called as Anion.</span>
