Answer:

Absolute dating is based on calculations of the age of rock strata based on half lives of minerals, relative dating is based on the assumed age of fossils found in the strata and the laws of super imposition.

Answer:

Absolute dating and relative dating are both methods used to determine the age of a fossil. Absolute dating gives the actual age of a fossil in years based on the amount of radioactive and stable elements in the fossil. Relative dating gives an estimate of the age of a fossil based on the location of the fossil in relation to other fossils.

aliina [53]

Answer:

K^{2000K}=0.774\\\\K^{3000K}=12.56

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the reaction, we can compute the Gibbs free energy of reaction at each temperature, taking into account that the Gibbs free energy for the diatomic element is 0 kJ/mol:

\Delta _rG=\Delta _fG_{X}-\frac{1}{2} \Delta _fG_{X_2}=\Delta _fG_{X}

Thus, at 2000 K:

\Delta _rG=\Delta _fG_{X}^{2000K}=4.25kJ/mol

And at 3000 K:

\Delta _rG=\Delta _fG_{X}^{3000K}=-63.12kJ/mol

Next, since the relationship between the equilibrium constant and the Gibbs free energy of reaction is:

K=exp(-\frac{\Delta _rG}{RT} )

Thus, at each temperature we obtain:

K^{2000K}=exp(-\frac{4250J/mol}{8.314\frac{J}{mol\times K}*2000K} )=0.774\\\\K^{3000K}=exp(-\frac{-63120J/mol}{8.314\frac{J}{mol\times K}*3000K} )=12.56

In such a way, we can also conclude that at 2000 K reaction is unfavorable (K<1) and at 3000 K reaction is favorable (K>1).

Best regards.

For a molecule of hydrazoic acid (HN3, also known as hydrogen azide), the atoms are arranged as HNNN. One resonance form of HN3
disa [49]

Answer:

0; +1; -1  

Explanation:

The resonance structure of HN₃ is shown below (you can also use horizontal dashes to represent the bonding pairs).

The molecule has 16 valence electrons, and each N atom has an octet.

To get the formal charges, cut the covalent bonds in half.

Each atom gets the electrons on its side of the cut.

Formal charge = valence electrons in isolated atom - electrons on bonded atom

FC = VE - BE  

(a) On Nₐ

VE = 5

BE = 1 lone pair (2)+ 3 bonding electrons = 2 + 3 = 5

FC = 5 - 5 = 0.

(b) On Nb:

VE = 5

BE = 4 bonding electrons = 4  

FC = 5 - 4 = +1

(c) On Nc:

VE = 6

BE = 2 lone pairs(4) + 2 bonding electrons = 4 + 2 = 6

FC = 5 - 6 = -1
