Relative dating will tell you exactly how old a rock layer is. True False

Chemistry
1 answer:
yawa3891 [41]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

False. It doesn't give the exact age of the rock layers.

Explanation:

  • Geologists define relative dating as the sequence in which rocks are arranged. Rock layers are called strata and relative dating can't give the exact age of these layers.
  • It's assumed that the old rock layers will be at the bottom while the new rock layers will be at the top. This is described as superposition principle.
  • Normally, these sedimentary rock layers appear in a horizontal manner although they can slightly tilt.

a compound has an empirical formula of CH2 what is the molecular formula if it's molar mass is 252.5 grams/mol
Goryan [66]

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound. the molecular formula is the actual ratio of components making up the compound.

the empirical formula is CH₂. We can find the mass of CH₂ one empirical unit and have to then find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula.

Mass of one empirical unit - CH₂ - 12 g/mol x 1 + 1 g/mol x 2 = 12 = 14 g

Molar mass of the compound is - 252 .5 g/mol

number of empirical units = molar mass / mass of empirical unit

                                           = \frac{252.5 g/mol}{14 g}

                                           = 18 units

Therefore molecular formula is - 18 times the empirical formula

molecular formula  - CH₂ x 18 = C₁₈H₃₆                                            

molecular formula is C₁₈H₃₆

5) answer is A
Burka [1]

Answer:

A)  positive; added

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2NaHCO3(s) + 129kJ → Na2CO3(s) + H2(g) + CO2(g)

<em>2 moles of NaHCO3 requires 129kJ to produce 1 mole of Na2CO3, 1 mole of H2 and 1 mole of CO2.</em>

<em />

That means, the energy must be added being, thus, an exothermic reaction. The exothermic reactions have ΔH >0.

Thus, right answer is:

A)  positive; added

A sample of element X contains 90% X-35 atoms, 8.0% X-37 atoms, and 2.0% X-38 atoms. The average atomic mass will be closest to
Ne4ueva [31]

To find average atomic mass you multiply the mass of each isotope by its percentage, and then add the values up.

35 * 0.90 + 37 * 0.08 + 38 * 0.02 = 35.22

Average atomic mass closest to 35.22 amu.

If one benzene molecule is placed in water, the total entropy of the water + benzene system:___________
valkas [14]

Answer:

d) increases

Explanation:

Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon which is obtained from the destructive distillation of coal. It is a colourless volatile liquid with a sweet smell. It boils ar 80° C (353 K) and freezes at 5°C (2278 K). It is insoluble in water but mixes in all proportions with ethanol, ethoxyethane and methylbenzene. The reason which benzene is insoluble in water is that benzene is a non-polar compound and water is polar, meanwhile only "like dissolves like". So, when the benzene molecule is placed in water. There will be distortion and disturbance between the benzene molecule and the water. Thus, the particle of each molecule will be distant from each other. This state results to change in the entropy of the system as the entropy of the system increases.
