- emission spectrum is the amount of electromagnetic radiation of each frequency it emits when it is heated (or more generally when it is excited). When the electrons in the element are excited, they jump to higher energy levels.
- Absorption spectrum is a technique used to find out what makes up a sample of a substance – in other words, a chemical analysis.
Equation for Half life :
A = a(0.5)^(t/h)
A is current amount, "a" is initial amount, h is halflife, t is time
5 = 40(0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
5/40 = (0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
take the log of both sides , power rule
Log(5/40) = (t/1.3x10^9) * Log(0.5)
(1.3x10^9) * Log(5/40) / Log(0.5) = t
3.9x10^9 years = t
And if you think about what a half life is, the time it take for the amount to reduce to half.
40/2 = 20
20/2 = 10
10/2 = 5
It went through 3 half-lifes
3 * 1.3x10^9 = 3.9x10^9 years
Answer:
C3H8 + 5O2 => 3CO2 + 4H2O
Explanation:
Hydrocarbon combustion is the reaction between a hydrocarbon and O2 producing CO2 and water.
C3H8 + O2 => CO2 + H2O
First we balance the C and H.
C3H8 + O2 => 3CO2 + 4H2O
Now we balance O for the answer!
C3H8 + 5O2 => 3CO2 + 4H2O
