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

Chemistry
1 answer:
yawa3891 [41]4 years ago

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.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is conserved which also means that it cannot be created or destroyed within the isolated system.

We can add the mass of the reactant and can be equal to the mass of the product. But in some cases, it will not work like:

If reactants are not in the mole ratio, there will be a limiting reagent.

If a gas is one of reactants or products.

Radioactive decay and  nuclear reactions(fission or fusion).

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Hydrocyanic acid.

Explanation:

Hydrocyanic acid or hydrogen cyanide is also known as formonitrile (HCN), it is a colorless, extremely poisonous liquid (because it inhibits cellular oxidative processes) which is having boiling point 26 °C, freezing point -14 °C, and highly volatile in nature.

The solution of hydrogen cyanide in aqueous is known as Prussic acid or Hydrocyanic acid. Hydrogen cyanide is used for many chemical processes such as fumigation, the concentration of ores, the case-hardening of steel and iron.

How does a thermometer work
andrew11 [14]
This liquid is sometimes colored alcohol but can also be a metallic liquid called mercury. Both mercury and alcohol grow bigger when heated and smaller when cooled. Inside the glass tube of a thermometer, the liquid has no place to go but up when the temperature is hot and down when the temperature is cold. Mercury is very reactive and works best. But mercury is also very a radioactive element. So, if you break the thermometer, you could get in trouble (radio active posoning) Alcohol work well, it is not radioactive and can't kill you.
