How does temperature change in the troposphere differ from the stratosphere?

1 answer:

5 0

In this region the air actually warms with height. Ozone is concentrated in this part of the atmosphere and it absorbs ultraviolet light from the Sun. More light is absorbed at higher altitudes compared to the lower stratosphere, so the temperature increases. In simple language, think of it as a strainer.

A fossil you are radiometrically dating contains 4 micrograms of Uranium 235 and 4 micrograms of Lead 207. Uranium 235 decays to

Rzqust [24]

The rate at which radioactive substances disintegrate is a constant for a

given radioactive material.

The fossil is 710 million years old.

Reasons:

The half-life of a radioactive material is the time it takes half of the nucleus

of a radioactive material to disintegrate into other forms of materials

through the given off of energy and particles.

The half life of Uranium 235 = 710 million years

The product of the decay of Uranium 235 = Lead 207

The mass of Uranium 235 in the fossil = 4 micrograms

The mass of Lead 207 in the sample = 4 micrograms

Therefore, the mass of Lead 207 in the fossil is equal to the mass of

Uranium 235, therefore, a minimum of half of the Uranium 235 has

decomposed, which gives;

The time of decomposition of the Uranium 235 = 1 Half life = 710 million years

The age of the fossil = The time in which the Uranium has been

decomposing = The time of decomposition = 1 half life of Uranium 235 = 710

million years

The age of the fossil = 710 million years

Using the formula for half-life, we get;

$\displaystyle N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}}$

The fossil contains initially only Uranium 235 with a minimum mass of 4 mg

+ 4 mg = 8 mg, which gives;

N₀ = 8 mg

N(t) = The current mass of Uranium 235 = 4 mg

$\displaystyle t_{1/2}$ = 710 million years

$\displaystyle 4 = 8 \cdot \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{710}$

$\displaystyle \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2} = \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{710}$

Therefore;

$\displaystyle \left( \frac{1}{2}\right)^1 = \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{710}$

$\displaystyle 1 = {\dfrac{t}{710}$

t = 710

The age of the fossil, t = 710 million years

A sample of Ar gas occupies a volume of 1.2 L at 125 degrees * C and a pressure of 10 atm. Determine the temperature , in degree

vekshin1

Answer:

58.64

Explanation: You want to use the combined gas law equation (P1*V1)/(n1*T1)=(P2*V2)/(n2*T2). So first cross out what remains constant, so pressure and I assume moles (since it was not mentioned as a change). You want to change the temperature to Kelvin (always) to do work, then you can solve algebraically for the answer! Once you have your answer change it to Celsius since that's what you were asked for.

Hope this helped!
