The correct option is: CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O.
In writing chemical equations, the reactants are usually written to the left of the equation of the reaction while the products are written to the right of the reaction. An arrow pointing in the right direction shows the direction of the reaction. In the question given above, methane and oxygen are the reactants while carbon dioxide and water are the products. The options that states the chemical reaction correctly is option 1.
False
The atomic mass equals the protons plus the neutrons
Answer:
4.66 x 10^8 yr
Explanation:
The age of the rock can be calculated using the equation:
ln (N/N₀) = - kt where N is the quantiy of radioisotope decayed and N₀ is the initially quantity present of the radioisotope; k is the decay constant, and t is the time.
Now from the data , we have 78 argon-40 atoms for every 22 potassium-40 atoms, we can deduce that originally we had 22 + 78 = 100 atoms of potassium-40 so this is our N₀.
When we look at the equation, we see that k is unknown, but we can calculate it from the half-life which is given by the equation:
k = 0.693/ t half-life = 0.693/ 1.3 x 10⁹ yr = 5.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ yr⁻¹
Now we are in position to answer the question.
ln ( 78/100 ) = - (5.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ yr⁻¹ ) t
- 0.249 = - 5.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ yr⁻¹ t
0.249/ 5.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ yr⁻¹ = t
4.66 x 10^8 yr
The answer is +1 because it gives up it's electron and becomes positive:)
