Oxygen gas was most likely absent from Earth's primitive atmosphere.  The current theory is that the Earth's early atmosphere was composed of mainly carbon dioxide and methane due to the high volcanic activity.  Cyanobacteria and their use of photosynthesis was what caused earth's atmosphere to become oxygen enriched.
I hope that helps.

The age of water or wine may be determined by measuring its radioactive tritium(3H) content. Tritium, present in a steady state
notsponge [240]

Answer: 29.0 years

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{12.5years}=0.0554years^{-1}

b) for decomposition of 80 % of reactant

t=\frac{2.303}{0.0554}\log\frac{100}{100-80}

t=\frac{2.303}{0.0554}\log\frac{100}{20}

t=29.0 years

The age of a suspected vintage wine that is 20 % as radioactive as a freshlybottled specimen is 29.0 years

There are four equal-sized bowls with equal amounts of milk. Bowl A is covered, and the milk is at room temperature. Bowl B is u
bogdanovich [222]

Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by vapour molecules over a liquid surface.

The vapour pressure is a property

a) inter molecular forces: higher the inter molecular forces lower the vapour pressure, In this case we have taken same liquid (milk) hence in all case the inter molecular forces will be same.

b) Temperature: higher the temperature higher the kinetic energy of molecules and more the tendency of liquid molecules to convert to vapor phase.

The vapor pressure will be independent of the container being closes or open.

Thus vapor pressure will be high in Bowl B which is uncovered, and the milk is warmer than room temperature, as it has higher temperature than all other bowl of milk.

How many moles of Boron (B) are in 5.03 x 1024 B atoms?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Hey there!:

Number of moles =   ( number of atoms / 6.023*10²³ atoms )

given number of atoms = 5.03*10²⁴

Therefore:

Number of moles B = 5.03*10²⁴ / 6.023*10²³

Number of moles B = 8.35 moles

Hope that helps!

If the first isotope has a mass of 259.98 amu and a percent abundance of 35%, what is the percent abundance of the second isotop
brilliants [131]
If it is assumed that there are only two isotopes then the percent abundance needs to add up to 100%

100-35= 65%

The second isotope will have a 65% abundance.
