If the half life of a radioactive isotope is 4000 years, how much would be left in a fossil after 4000 years

Chemistry

mamaluj [8]3 years ago
5 0
Since the half life of the radioactive isotope is 4,000 years, after 4,000 years the amount of the isotope would decrease by half. (Hence the name, half life.) So, after 4,000 years, there would be half of the isotope left in the fossil.

Which experimental setup would let a student investigate the connection between kinetic energy and temperature? (1 point) placin
Maslowich

Answer:

The correct option is;

Placing one drop of food coloring in a cup with 60 ml of water at 10°, placing one drop of food coloring in a second cup with 60 ml of water at 40°C

Explanation:

The experimental setup that would allow the student investigate the connection between kinetic energy and temperature should be made up of the following characteristics

1) The constant terms for the experiment should be defined, which in this case are

a) The volume of the water which is 60 ml in both subjects of the experiment

2) The definition of the variable that produces the effect that is being monitored, which is the use of the different temperatures in the two experimental subjects

3)The environmental limits of the experiment, which is the water and the food coloring used

How do we measure the mass of an extrasolar planet?
Degger [83]
To determine a planet's mass, astronomers typically measure the minuscule movement of the star caused by the gravitational tug of an orbiting planet. For planets the massof Earth detecting such a tiny tug is extraordinarily challenging with current technology

A sample of 8.11 g 8.11 g of solid calcium hydroxide is added to 38.0 mL 38.0 mL of 0.410 M 0.410 M aqueous hydrochloric acid. W
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation :

Ca(OH)_2(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)

Explanation:

When calcium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid it gives calcium chloride and water as a products. The chemical equation is given as:

Ca(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+2H_2O

According to question, solid calcium hydroxde is added to 38.0 mL of 0.410 M of HCl solution, so the chemical equation can be written as:

Ca(OH)_2(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)

According to stoichiometry, when 1 mole of solid calcium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of hydrochloric acid to gives 1 mole of aqueous calcium chloride and 1 mole of water.
