A rock contains 0.623 mg of 206Pb for every 1.000 mg of 238U present. Assuming that no lead was originally present, that all the

206Pb formed over the years has remained in the rock, and that the number of nuclides in intermediate stages of decay between 238U and 206Pb is negligible, calculate the age of the rock.

Answer:

t = 3,496x10⁹ years

Explanation:

The decay of ²³⁸U is:

²³⁸U → ²⁰⁶Pb + 8He + 6e⁻

Moles of ²⁰⁶Pb presents in 0,623mg are:

0,623x10⁻³g×(1mol / 206g) = 3,02x10⁻⁶ moles of ²⁰⁶Pb.

These moles are equals to moles of ²³⁸U before decay, that means, 3,02x10⁻⁶ moles²³⁸U

In grams:

3,02x10⁻⁶ moles²³⁸U× (238g / 1mol) = 7,20x10⁻⁴ g ²³⁸U = 0,720 mg²³⁸U

That means initial ²³⁸U was 1,000mg + 0,720mg =<em> 1,720mg</em>

Applying the formula:

ln (N₀/N) t₁₂ = t ln2

Where N₀ is initial amount of uranium (1,720mg), N is concentration of uranium (1,000mg),  half-life time is a constant (t₁₂= 4,468x10⁹ years) and t is the time transcurred for the reaction. Replacing:

ln(1,720/1)*4,468x10⁹ years = t ln2

<em>t = 3,496x10⁹ years</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

The biological compounds that are nonpolar and insoluble in water are lipids. It is a group of molecules that are naturally occurring which includes sterols, waxes, fats, fat-soluble vitamins and the like. These molecules are nonpolar molecules so basically the cannot be dissolved in a polar solvent like water.

The change in enthalpy is the change in heat energy of a reaction and is calculated by (Hint: Hess' Law): Group of answer choice
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

d. Sum of product enthalpies minus the sum of reactant enthalpies

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy change of a reaction (ΔH°rxn) can be calculated using the following expression:

ΔH°rxn = ∑n(products) × ΔH°f(products) - ∑n(reactants) × ΔH°f(reactants)

where,

ni are the moles of products and reactants

ΔH°f(i) are the standard enthalpies of formation of products and reactants

Draw a sodium formate molecule. The structure has been supplied here for you to copy. To add formal charges, click the button be
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The Molecule of Sodium Formate along with Formal Charges (in blue) and lone pair electrons (in red) is attached below.

Sodium Formate is an ionic compound made up of a positive part (Sodium Ion) and a polyatomic anion (Formate).

Nomenclature:

                       In ionic compounds the positive part is named first. As sodium ion is the positive part hence, it is named first followed by the negative part i.e. formate.

Name of Formate:

                             Formate ion has been derived from formic acid ( the simplest carboxylic acid). When carboxylic acids looses the acidic proton of -COOH, they are converted into Carboxylate ions.

E.g.

                    HCOOH (formic acid)    →     HCOO⁻ (formate)  +  H⁺

                H₃CCOOH (acetic acid)     →      H₃CCOO⁻ (acetate)  +  H⁺

Formal Charges:

                           Formal charges are calculated using following formula,

          F.C  =  [# of Valence e⁻] - [e⁻ in lone pairs + 1/2 # of bonding electrons]

For Oxygen:

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 2/2]

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 1]

                    F.C  =  6 - 7

                    F.C  =  -1

For Sodium:

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0 + 0/2]

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0]

                    F.C  =  1 - 0

                    F.C  =  +1

Transuranium elements are artificial and may be prepared by a fusion process in which heavy nuclei are bombarded with light ones
Scilla [17]

Answer:

_{97}^{345}\textrm{Bk}

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

Am has an atomic number of 95. So correct reaction is:-

^{343}_{95}\textrm{Am}+^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{X}+2^1_0\textrm{n}

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

343 + 4 = A + 2

A = 345

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

95 + 2 = Z + 0

Z = 97

Hence, the isotopic symbol of unknown element is _{97}^{345}\textrm{Bk}
