Answer:

The correct answer is;

b involves removing and refining waxy hydrocarbons called kerogen

Explanation:

Shale oil deposits are present in the United States in the Green River formation in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado and in the Devonian Oil  shales in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Indiana.

Shale oil has boosted crude oil production since 2014 and the United states  is presently one of the world's largest producers crude-oil.

Kerogen, found in oil shale is treated to produce shale oil with about 6.05 trillion barrels of oil in place globally.

Which pair of elements can be used to determine the age of a fossil that is over one billion years old?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are some radioactive nuclides can be used to measure time on an archeological scale. One is the best example of this is radiocarbon dating. This process is based on the ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant.

The half time of C-14 5730 years  

Carbon-14 is a radioactive nucleus. It has a half-life of 5730 years.

All living tissues like plants and animal absorbed carbon-12 along with carbon-14 with same ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere.

Carbon-14 dating is based on the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant

Which of the following atoms would have a charge of +1?
erica [24]

Answer: An atom with 6 protons, 5 electrons, and 7 neutrons

Explanation: In this case, neutrons do not matter as they have a charge of 0, or no charge. A proton has a charge of +1 and an electron has a charge of -1. Since there are 6 protons, the total charge of the protons would be +6. Since there are 5 electrons the total charge of the electrons would be -5. +6 - 5 would result in a charge of +1. This means that this atom would have an overall charge of + 1. Basically, if there is one more proton than electron, then the overall charge of the atom will be +1 but if there is one more electron than proton, then the overall charge of the atom will be -1.
