Uranium-238 decays to Lead-206. Both Rock X and Rock Y initially had a ratio of 100%. Uranium-238 to 0% Lead-206. Today, Rock X

has a ratio of 50%. Uranium-238 to 50% Lead-206. Rock Y has a ratio of 25% Uranium-238 to 75% Lead-206. Which rock is older?

Answer:

Rock Y

Explanation:

The rock that is older shall be determined based on the number of half lives it has witnessed. A half life is simply the amount of time required for a sample to decay to half of its original mass.

Rock X

From 100% uranium, it decays to 50% uranium.  This means it went through just one half life.

Rock Y

From 100% uranium to 25% uranium

100 --> 50 (first half life)

50 --> 25 (second half life)

This means it wen through 2 half lives.

Rock Y is older than Rock X

The meselson-stahl experiment demonstrated that DNA replication is semi conservative in the figure semi conservative replication
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Explanation:

The semi-conservative mode of replication is the common method of replication used by mostly organisms on earth which were demonstrated by the Meselson and Stahl in 1958.

They used the isotopes of the nitrogen which contains extra neuron which makes the nitrogen-heavy and cultured them in bacteria

The experiment concluded that newly replicated double stranded DNA contains one newly synthesized DNA strand which is complementary to another parental strand. Thus new DNA molecule has one parental strand while other newly synthesized strand.

This is best illustrated by the option-D in the figure and therefore is the correct answer.

a) One kmol of N2O4 dissociates at 25℃, 1 atm to form an equilibrium ideal gas mixture of N2O4 and NO2 in which the amount of N2
horsena [70]

Answer:

neq N2O4 = 0.9795 mol.....P = 0.5 atm; T = 25°C

Explanation:

             ni      change    eq.

N2O4    1          1 - x       0.8154.....P = 1 atm; T = 25°C

NO2      0        0 + x          x

∴ x = neq = Peq.V / R.T.....ideal gas mix

if P = 0.5 atm, T = 25°C; assuming: V = 1 L

⇒ x = neq = ((0.5 atm)(1 L))/((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(298 K))

⇒ x = neq = 0.0205 mol

⇒ neq N2O4 = 1 - x = 1 - 0.0205 = 0.9795 mol

Which layer is the oldest layer? How can you tell? ​
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The principle of superposition states that the oldest rock units are at rock bottom , and therefore the youngest are at the highest . Based on this, layer C is oldest, followed by B and A. So the full sequence of events is as follows: Layer C formed.
