The following is the introduction to a special e-publication called Determining the Age of the Earth (click the link to see a table of contents). Published earlier this year, the collection draws articles from the archives of Scientific American. In the collection, this introduction appears with the title, “Stumbling Toward an Understanding of Geologic Timescales.”
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we need to remember that for the required time for a radioactive nuclide as radium-226 to decrease to one half its initial amount we are talking about its half-life. Furthermore, the amount of remaining radioactive material as a function of the half-lives is computed as follows:
Therefore, for an initial amount of 100 mg with a half-life of 1590 years, after 1000 years, we have:
Best regards.
1) Balanced chemical reaction: Cl₂ + 2NaI → 2NaCl + I₂.
Chlorine and iodine are diatomic molecules.
2) Balanced chemical reaction: 2NH₃ → N₂ + 3H₂.
Nitrogen and hydrogen are diatomic molecules.
3) Balanced chemical reaction: 4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O.
Sodium in compounds has oxidation number +1 and oxygen -2.
It is two or more objects and different things that can be removed from each other.
