(2) U-238 is the radioisotope used in dating geological formations. Uranium-238 has a half-life of 4.46 billion years, which makes it suitable to date such old formations.
The other options do not have such long durabilities and half-lives.
If you leave the plant in the closet it will die due to the lack of sunlight and water it needs.
Yes, you could begin to swear because you are used to hearing those words so in your mind it will get implanted and it will be just a natural response.
Happy studying ^_^
Answer:
1) SO₄
²⁻ : (+6)
H₂S : (-2)
Explanation:
a) <u>Sulfate reducers</u> are widespread in muds and other sediments, water-logged soils, etc., environments that contain SO₄ ²⁻ and become anoxic as a result of microbial decomposition.
Sulfate (SO₄ ²⁻), the most oxidized form of sulfur (+6), <u>is reduced</u> by these
sulfate-reducing bacteria. The end product of sulfate reduction is hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, (oxidation number -2) an important natural product that participates in many biogeochemical processes. The H₂S they generate is responsible for the pungent smell (like that of rotten eggs) often encountered near coastal ecosystems. When sulfate-reducing bacteria grow, the H₂S formed from SO₄ ²⁻ reduction combines with the ferrous iron to form black, insoluble ferrous sulfide, which is not toxic. This is important for the conservation of the environment.
b) The net ionic equation under acidic conditions is:
4 H₂ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺ → HS⁻ + 4 H₂O
Global reaction: SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ → H₂S + O₂
Answer:
E. Q < K and reaction shifts right
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
A(s) + 3 B(l) ⇄ 2(aq) + D(aq)
Step 2: Calculate the reaction quotient (Q)
The reaction quotient, as the equilibrium constant (K), only includes aqueous and gaseous species.
Q = [C]² × [D]
Q = 0.64² × 0.38
Q = 0.15
Step 3: Compare Q with K and determine in which direction will shift the reaction
Since Q < K, the reaction will shift to the right to attain the equilibrium.
