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.

4.65 L of nitrogen at standard pressure is compressed into a 0.480 L container. What is the new pressure in kPa?
Semenov [28]
Assuming that nitrogen gas is ideal, we can use the equation PV = nRT to relate first conditions to the second condition. At constant temperature, pressure and volume are indirectly related as follows:

P = k / V

k is equal nRT

P1V1 = P2V2
P2 = 101.325 ( 4.65 ) / .480 = 981.586 kPa

A ------------ ----------------- is the dying out of a large number of species on a global scale
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Extinction event or sometimes known as Mass extinction

Explanation:

These events typically are typically widespread and rapid decrease in the biodiversity (which takes into account spread and existence of current species). The worst mass extinction was Permian–Triassic extinction where over 90% of species of organisms vanished.

How is the energy divided up in the plant
Lerok [7]
When a crop of wheat grows, new organic matter is created by the process of photosynthesis, which converts light energy into energy stored in chemical bonds within plant tissue. ... New compounds and structures are synthesized, cells divide, and the plant grows in size over time
