Answer is D Geologists determine half-life as radioactive elements get trapped in rock and break down over time.   just took the test hope this helps have a nice day !!!!!!!!!!!!

Radioactive dating is the technique in which radioactive isotopes are used to estimate the age of rocks and minerals. There are many different radioisotopes used for radioactive dating like Carbon, Uranium, and Potassium. Radioactive dating works on the principle that a radioactive isotope can decay into the stable daughter nuclei at a constant rate. Geologist generally use the principle for half life. Half life is the time required for half of the radioactive substance to decay. This is constant for a particular element.

Therefore, the correct option is,

D. as the geologists use the half life of the radioactive elements present in the rocks to estimate the age of rock.

Consider the following selected postulates of Dalton's atomic theory: (i) Each element is composed of extremely small particles
slega [8]

Answer:

B)

Explanation:

Dalton was the first scientist to propose an atomic model. He said that each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms, which are indivisible, atoms of a given element are identical, and atoms of different elements have different properties.

With the advance of the studies, it was proven that elements are composed of small particles, atoms and that the atoms of each element are identical, and have different properties from atoms of different elements.

But, now we know that the atom can be divisible: it's formed by electrons, protons, and neutrons. So only postulate <em>ii</em> is no longer considered valid.

Calcium fluoride (CaF2) has a solubility constant of 3.45 x 10-11
tangare [24]
Ksp=3.45×10⁻¹¹

CaF₂(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2F⁻(aq)

Ksp=[Ca²⁺][F⁻]²

[Ca²⁺]=C(CaF₂)
[F⁻]=2C(CaF₂)

Ksp=4{C(CaF₂)}³

C(CaF₂)=∛(Ksp/4)

C(CaF₂)=∛(3.45×10⁻¹¹/4)=2.05×10⁻⁴ mol/L

2.05×10⁻⁴ M

500.0 mL of a gas was collected at 20.0 C and 720.0 mmHg. What is it’s volume at STP
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The volume at STP is 0,441 L (441ml)

Explanation:

We use the gas formula, which results from the combination of the Boyle, Charles and Gay-Lussac laws. According to which at a constant mass, temperature, pressure and volume vary, keeping constant PV / T. The conditions STP are 1 atm of pressure and 273K of temperature. We convert the unit Celsius into Kelvin, the volume in ml into L and the pressure in mmHg into atm:

0 ° C = 273K, 20 ° C = 273 + 20 = 293K ; 500/1000= 0,500 L

760mmHg---1 atm

720mmHg----x= (720mmHgx 1 atm)/760mmHg= 0,947 atm

P1xV1/T1= P2xV2/T2

V2=((P1xV1/T1)xT2)/P2

V2=((0,947atmx0,500L/293K)x273K)/1 atm

<em>V2= 0,441 L</em>
