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!

Are molecules with identical chemical formulas but different three-dimensional structures
Radda [10]
<span>Molecules are having the same chemical formula same number of atom but different three dimensional shapes are called <u>isomer</u>. Cis trans isomers maintain the same covalent partnerships,but atom may arranged differently.There are two or more compounds arranged in same molecular formula but different arranged atoms are seen in this molecule with different structure of it.</span>

Give the structure of the product obtained when cyclopropene loses a proton. Will the product be aromatic or not?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

not aromatic

Explanation:

Cyclopropene -

as the compound is is made to lose a proton , and gains a negative charge on its ring ,

Now, The ring can become aromatic or anti - aromatic depending on the number of π electrobns ,

According to Huckel 's rule ,

The cyclic compounds with ( 4n+2 ) π electrons , where , n = 0, 1, 2, 3 ... , are considered to be aromatic in nature ,

And the cyclic compounds with ( 4n ) π electrons , where , n = 1, 2, 3 ... , are considered to be anti - aromatic in nature.

Now, for the cyclopropene structure , the number of π electron are equal to 4 , 2 from the double bond and 2 from the negative charge .

Therefore , the compound becomes not aromatic or anti - aromatic .
