Answer is: A. the rate of decay for certain isotopes.

For example, radiocarbon dating is called Carbon-14 dating.

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon, with a half-life of 5730 years.

Carbon bound in fossil fuels has different isotopes than carbon in atmosphere. Fossil fuels are underground and cosmic rays do not affect carbon in them same as atmosphere carbon. Carbon in fossil fuels that is underground longer than ten thousand years has only C-12 isotope and not C-14.

Of the molecules sicl4 and sii4, which has bonds that are more polar?
diamong [38]
The bonds in the SiCl₄ molecules will be more polar.

The polarity of bonds within a molecule depends on the difference in electronegativity of the atoms that are involved in the bond. Chlorine is a more electronegative atom than iodine. Therefore, the electrons in the Si-Cl bond will be more concentrated near the Cl, creating polarity in the bond. Iodine is not as electronegative, so it will not result in a very polarized Si-I bond

Explain how atoms organize to create larger structures?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

First of all they are super tiny particles of neutrons, electrons and protons. Then they come together to organize a structure of atom. Atoms come together to form a molecule and smaller molecules work together to form macromolecules. Thus, how they organize and form building blocks of a substance.

Hope it helps!<3

Determine the [H3O+] in a 0.265 M HClO solution. The Ka of HClO is 2.9 × 10-8.
dexar [7]

8.8 × 10-5 M is the  [H3O+] concentration in 0.265 M HClO solution.

Explanation:

HClO is a weak acid and does not completely dissociate in water as ions.

the equation of dissociation can be written and ice table to be formed.

 HClO +H2O ⇒ ClO- + H3O+

I  0.265                0        0

C  -x                    +x     +x

E  0.265-x          +x      +x

Now applying the equation of Ka, where Ka is given as 2.9 × 10-8.

Ka = \frac{[ClO-][H3O+]}{[HClO]}

2.9 × 10^-8 = \frac{[x] [x]}{[0.265-x]}

x^{2} = 7.698 x10^{-9}

x = 8.8 × 10-5 M

The hydronium ion concentration is 8.8 × 10-5 M  in 0.265 M solution of HClO.

In a fuel cell there is direct conversion of mechanical energy into electricity.
rewona [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A fuel cell uses both hydrogen and oxygen as fuels. At the cathode oxygen is reduced to water according to the equation

O2+4H^+ +4e ------>2H2O

And hydrogen is oxidized at the anode:

2H2------>4H^+ +4e

Fuel cells produce only water as a by product hence they are environment friendly

What was the half-life of a new isotope?
REY [17]
The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.

In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ

Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.
