A sample of uranium ore contains 6.73 mg of 238U and 3.22 mg of 206Pb. Assuming all of the lead arose from the decay of the uran

ium and that the half-life of 238U is 4.51 x 109years, determine the age of the ore

Answer:

The age of the ore is 4.796*10^9 years.

Explanation:

To solve this question, we use the formula;

A(t) =A(o)(1/2)^t/t1/2

where;

A(t) =3.22mg

A(o) = 6.731mg

t1/2 = 4.51*70^9 years

t = age of the ore

So,

A(t) =A(o)(1/2)^t/t1/2

3.22 = 6.73 (1/2)^t/4.51*10^9

Divide both sides by 6.73

3.22/6.73= (1/2)^t/4.51*10^9

0.47825= (0.5)^t/4.51*10^9

Log 0.4785 = t/4.51*10^9 • log 0.5

Log 0.4785/log 0.5 • 4.51*10^9 = t

t = 1.0634 * 4.51*10^9

t = 4.796*10^9

So therefore, the age of the ore is approximately 4.796*10^9 years.

A gas has a pressure of 450 mmHg at 100 degrees Celsius. What will its new pressure be when the temperature rises 200 degrees Ce
Ahat [919]

Answer:

P2 = 900 mmHg.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial pressure = 450 mmHg

Initial temperature = 100°C

Final temperature = 200°C

To find the final pressure, we would use Gay Lussac's law;

Gay Lussac states that when the volume of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Gay Lussac's law is given by;

PT = K

\frac{P1}{T1} = \frac{P2}{T2}

Making P2 as the subject formula, we have;

P_{2}= \frac{P1}{T1} * T_{2}

P_{2}= \frac{450}{100} * 200

P_{2}= 4.5 * 200

Final pressure, P2 = 900 mmHg.
