How would you determine which isotope pair to use for a particular material?

Chemistry

VLD [36.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Different types of isotopes are used for different materials or objects. For radiometric dating, uranium-235 is considered best for it while carbon-14 is used for dating of rocks. It is also used for dating of wood samples.

Explanation:

Carbon-14 and uranium-235 are used for different materials or objects for measuring the age of these materials. These two isotopes are radioactive in nature which means they emit gamma radiations which allow us to find the age of different objects. Carbon-14 has a low half life so it can be used for those objects which are present before thousands of years while uranium-235 is used for materials which are millions of years old due to high half life.

Calculate the standard molar enthalpy for the complete combustion of liquid ethanol (C2H5OH) using the standard enthalpies of fo
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

For the reaction

C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2(g) = 2CO2(g) + 3 H2O

We can calculate the  standard molar enthalpy of combustion using the standard enthalpies of formation of the species involved in the reaction according to Hess law:

ΔHºc =  2ΔHºf CO2 (g) + 3ΔHºfH2O(l)  - ( ΔHºf C2H5OH (l) - 3ΔHºfO2 (g) )

( we were not give the water state but we know we are at standard conditions so it is in its liquid state )

The ΔHºfs can be found in appropiate reference or texts.

ΔHºc =  2ΔHºf CO2 (g)+ 3ΔHºfH2O(l)  - (  ΔHºf C2H5OH (l) -+3ΔHºfO2 (g) )

= [ 2 ( -393.52 ) + 3 ( -285.83 ) ] - [(  -276.2 + 0 ) ] kJ

ΔHºc =  -1368.33 kJ

What are some uses of radioactive dating? <br> HELPP PLEASEEEE!!!
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Radioactive dating is a method of dating rocks and minerals using radioactive isotopes. This method is useful for igneous and metamorphic rocks, which cannot be dated by the stratigraphic correlation method used for sedimentary rocks. Over 300 naturally-occurring isotopes are known.
