Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a specified chronology in archaeology and geology. Some scientists prefer the terms chronometric or calendar dating, as use of the word "absolute" implies an unwarranted certainty of accuracy.

Relative dating<span> is the science of determining the relative order of past events (i.e., the age of an object in comparison to another), without necessarily determining their </span>absolute age<span>, (i.e. estimated age). In geology, </span>rock<span> or </span>superficial deposits<span>, </span>fossils<span> and </span>lithologies<span> can be used to correlate one </span>stratigraphic column<span> with another. Prior to the discovery of </span>radiometric dating<span> which provided a means of </span>absolute dating<span> in the early 20th century, </span>archaeologists<span> and </span>geologists<span> used this technique to </span>determine ages<span> of materials. Though relative dating can only determine the </span>sequential order<span> in which a series of events occurred, not </span>when<span> they occur, it remains a useful technique especially in radiometric dating. Relative dating by </span>biostratigraphy<span> is the preferred method in </span>paleontology<span>, and is in some respects more accurate (Stanley, 167–69). The </span>Law of Superposition<span>, which states that older layers will be deeper in a site than more recent layers, was the summary outcome of 'relative dating' as observed in geology from the 17th century to the early 20th century.</span>

Deffense [45]

<u>Answer:</u> Nitric oxide is the limiting reagent. The number of moles of excess reagent left is 0.0039 moles. The amount of nitrogen dioxide produced will be 0.7912 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}   ....(1)

  • <u>For ozone:</u>

Given mass of ozone = 0.827 g

Molar mass of ozone = 48 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of ozone}=\frac{0.827g}{48g/mol}=0.0172mol

  • <u>For nitric oxide:</u>

Given mass of nitric oxide = 0.635 g

Molar mass of nitric oxide = 30.01 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of nitric oxide}=\frac{0.635g}{30.01g/mol}=0.0211mol

For the given chemical equation:

O_3+NO\rightarrow O_2+NO_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ozone reacts with 1 mole of nitric oxide.

So, 0.0172 moles of ozone will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0172=0.0172moles of nitric oxide

As, given amount of nitric oxide is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, ozone is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

  • Amount of excess reagent (nitric oxide) left = 0.0211 - 0.0172 = 0.0039 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ozone produces 1 mole of nitrogen dioxide.

So, 0.0172 moles of ozone will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0172=0.0172moles of nitrogen dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of nitrogen dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

Moles of nitrogen dioxide = 0.0172 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0172mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitrogen dioxide}}{46g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitrogen dioxide}=0.7912g

Hence, nitric oxide is the limiting reagent. The number of moles of excess reagent left is 0.0039 moles. The amount of nitrogen dioxide produced will be 0.7912 g.
