Answer:

To find the age of the fossil  

Step-by-step explanation:

You measure the intensity of the radiation (counts per minute) from a given mass of the sample.

If you know the half-life of the radioactive isotope (e.g., carbon-14), you can work backwards and calculate the number of years since the organism died.  

A is <em>wrong</em>. You use a balance to determine the mass of the fossil.

C is <em>wrong</em>. The level of radiation tells you nothing about the species of the fossil.

D is <em>wrong.</em> You use a radiation detector to determine if a fossil is radioactive.

That would be to find the age of the fossil. Its called radiometric dating.

8). How many moles of oxygen gas must be placed in a 35.0 L container in order
klemol [59]

Answer:

4.1 moles

Explanation:

Applying

PV = nRT................ equation 1

Where P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R = molar gas constant, T = Temperature.

make n the subject  of the equation

n = PV/RT.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: V = 35 L , P = 2.8 atm, T = 15 °C  = (15+273) = 288 K, R = 0.083 L.atm/K.mol

Substitute these values into equation 2

n = (35×2.8)/(0.083×288)

n = 4.1 moles
