P waves move quickly and S waves move slowly through solids,

Explanation:

S and P waves can move through a solid material. P waves generally moves quickly and S-waves move slowly through solids.

S and P waves elastic seismic waves.

P waves are primary waves travels through any material medium. They move faster than S-waves.
S waves are secondary waves that moves through solid only. They are shear waves.
They cannot move through liquids and gases because these materials cannot be sheared.

At a seismic station, P waves arrives first because they have a higher velocity

The half-life for the radioactive decay of C-14C-14 is 5730 years. You may want to reference (Pages 598 - 605) Section 14.5 whil

KIM [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the reaction = 5730 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{5730yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process = (100 - 25) = 75 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{75}\\\\t=2377.9yrs$

Hence, the sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

When a redox reaction that takes place in an acidic solution involves an oxygen imbalance, oxygen should be balanced by adding _

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Balancing redox reactions:

Oxygen should be balanced by adding $H_{2}O$ as needed, while hydrogen should be balanced by adding $H^{+}$ .

What is a redox reaction?

Redox reactions, also known as oxidation-reduction reactions, involve the simultaneous oxidation and reduction of two different reactants.

The Half-Equation Method is one technique used to balance redox processes. The equation is divided into two half-equations using this technique: one for oxidation and one for reduction.

By changing the coefficients and adding $H_{2}O$ , $H^{+}$ , and $e^{-}$ in that order, each reaction is brought into equilibrium:

By putting the right number of water ( $H_{2}O$ ) molecules on the other side of the equation, the oxygen atoms are brought into balance.
By adding $H^{+}$ ions to the opposing side of the equation, one can balance the hydrogen atoms (including those added in step 2 to balance the oxygen atom).
Total the fees for each side. Add enough electrons ( $e^{-}$ ) to the more positive side to make them equal. (As a general rule, $e^{-}$ and $H^{+}$ are nearly always on the same side.)
The $e^{-}$ on either side must be made equal; if not, they must be multiplied by the lowest common multiple (LCM) in order to make them equal.
One balanced equation is created by adding the two half-equations and canceling out the electrons. Additionally, common terms should be eliminated.
Now that the equation has been verified, it can be balanced.
