How does relative-age dating help scientists learn about fossils and the age of the earth?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]4 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Relative dating is used in determining a fossils approximate age comparing it with similar rocks and fossils whose age are known or formation of sedimentary rock . Whereas absolute dating is used in to determining the exact age of fossil by determining radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated to it.

Answer:

14. 13.2cg = 1.32dg

15. 3.8m = 0.0038km

16. 24.8L = 24800mL

17. 0.87kL = 870L

18. 26.01cm = 0.0002601km

19. 0.001hm = 10cm

Explanation:

14. 13.2/10 = 1.32

15. 38/1000 = 0.0038

16. 24.8(1000) = 24,800

17. 0.87(1000) = 870

18. 26.01/100000 = 0.0002601

19. 0.001hm(10000) = 10

An easy way to do these by yourself is to familiarize yourself with what each prefix means. Once you do this, you can multiply the value of the prefix when converting from a smaller unit of measurement to a larger one and divide the value of the prefix when converting from a large unit of measurement to a smaller one.

Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms forms
Brums [2.3K]
Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms forms a covalent bond.<span> Covalent bonding is when atoms share electrons. It is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs. These pairs are called bonding pairs. Examples of compounds that has covalent bonds are CO2, organic compounds, lipids and proteins.</span>

If a balloon is filled with a mixture of helium and oxygen, which gas will escape faster? Why?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The rate of leakage will be higher for helium; its molecules move about 3 times faster than oxygen’s

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass helium = 4.0 g/mol

Molar mass O2 = 32 g/mol

Step 2: Graham's law

Graham's Law of Effusion states that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass : 1/(Mr)^0.5

Rate of escape for He = 1/(4.0)^0.5 = 0.5

Rate of escape for O2 = 1/(32)^0.5 = 0.177

The rate of leakage will be higher for helium; its molecules move about 3 times faster than oxygen’s

Which of the following statements is false? Check all that apply. Gases are far more compressible than liquids The volume occupi
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The false statement is: 3. Because liquid water and liquid carbon tetrachloride do not mix, neither do their vapors

Explanation:

Gas is a state of matter, that has <u>less density than liquids and solids</u>. The gaseous particles have low intermolecular forces and thus they can move freely.

It is a very <u>compressible fluid</u> that has no fixed shape. Gas occupies the whole container in which it is stored, thus taking the shape of the container. Therefore, <u>the volume of the gas is equal to the volume of the container.</u>

<u>Polar liquid like water (H₂O) and nonpolar liquid like carbon tetrachloride, are immiscible. However, in the gaseous state, their vapors form a  homogeneous mixture.</u>

PLS HELP!! <br> Balance this equation: __H2+ 2 O2---&gt; 2 H2O
alekssr [168]

Answer:

 2H₂   +   O₂  →   2H₂O

Explanation:

The expression of the equation is given as:

              _H₂   +   2O₂  →   2H₂O

Now for expression above,

                           Reactants                                          Products

H                              2                                                            4

O                              4                                                           2

to balance the equation, we use 2 moles of hydrogen gas and 1 mole of oxygen gas;

           2H₂   +   O₂  →   2H₂O
