Which pair of elements can be used to determine the age of a fossil that is over one billion years old?

Chemistry

AnnZ [28]3 years ago

Answer: Option (4)

Explanation: The most efficient radioactive method used for the determination of fossil age which is about one billion years old is the Potassium-Argon method (⁴⁰K-⁴⁰Ar).

Potassium-Argon method is generally used to date fossils which are more than 1.2 billion years old as its half life is almost about 1.2 billion years. Potassium is highly radioactive, which converts into Argon and becomes stable.

Uranium and Carbon are also highly radioactive whereas Lead and Nitrogen are stable elements.

¹⁴C-¹⁴N is not an efficient method as it has a half life of only about 5700 years.

Thus the correct answer is option (4).

Answer:

Explanation:

There are some radioactive nuclides can be used to measure time on an archeological scale. One is the best example of this is radiocarbon dating. This process is based on the ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant.

The half time of C-14 5730 years  

Carbon-14 is a radioactive nucleus. It has a half-life of 5730 years.

All living tissues like plants and animal absorbed carbon-12 along with carbon-14 with same ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere.

Carbon-14 dating is based on the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant

The liquid dispensed from a burette is called ___________.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The liquid that is been dispensed during titration as regards this question is Titrant.

  • Titration can be regarded as  common laboratory method that is been carried out during quantitative chemical analysis.
  • This analysis helps to know the concentration of an identified analyte.
  • Burette can be regarded as laboratory apparatus.

It is used in the in measurements of variable amounts of liquid ,this apparatus helps in dispensation   of liquid, especially when performing titration.

  • The specifications is been done base on their volume, or resolution.
  • The liquid that comes out of this apparatus is regarded as Titrant, and this is gotten during titration process, which is usually carried out during volumetric analysis.

Therefore, burrete is used in volumetric analysis.

Why do electrons transition between energy levels within the atom, and how do we detect these transitions?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electrons transition between energy levels in an atom due to gain or loss of energy. An electron may gain energy and move from its ground state to one of the accessible excited states. The electron quickly returns to ground state, emitting the energy previously absorbed as a photon of light. The wavelength of light emitted is measured using powerful spectrometers.

Atoms can be excited thermally or by irradiation with light of appropriate frequency.

When aluminum is placed in concentrated hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is produced. 2 Al ( s ) + 6 HCl ( aq ) ⟶ 2 AlCl 3 ( aq )
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is 4.90 liters.

Explanation:

2Al (s) + 6 HCl (aq)\rightarrow 2 AlCl_3 (aq) + 3 H_2 (g)

Moles of aluminium =\frac{3.60 g}{27 g/mol}=0.1333 mol

According to reaction , 2 moles of aluminium gives 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

Then 0.1333 moles of aluminium will give:

\frac{3}{2}\times 0.1333 mol=0.2 moles of hydrogen gas

Volume of 0.2 moles of hydrogen gas at STP = V

Temperature at STP = T = 298.15 K

Pressure at STP = P = 1 atm

n = 0.2 mol

PV = nRT (Ideal gas equation)

V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{0.2mol\times 0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298.15 K}{1 atm}=4.8956 L\approx 4.90 L

The volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is 4.90 liters.
