Answer: Option (C)

Explanation: Uranium- 238 is an unstable isotope of uranium. It is one of the most effective isotope used for radioactive dating in order to determine the age of a rock that is about billions of years old. It contains an unstable nucleus that undergoes continuous decay, until it reaches a stable environment. It has a half life of approximately 4.5 billion years and majority of the uranium that are present on earth at present are all uranium- 238 and they are constantly decaying. When uranium completely decays, it then gets converted into lead, which is a stable element.

The most common radioactive method used to date rocks is Uranium-Lead dating method.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

The reaction 2a + b --> c + d has an activation energy of 80.0 kj/mol. at 320°c, the rate constant k = 1.80 x 10-2 l mol-1 s-
Naddik [55]
To determine the k for the second condition, we use the Arrhenius equation which relates the rates of reaction at different temperatures. We do as follows:

ln k1/k2 = E / R (1/T2 - 1/T1) where E is the activation energy and R universal gas constant.

ln 1.80x10^-2 / k2 = 80000 / 8.314 ( 1/723.15 - 1/593.15)

k2 = 0.3325 L / mol-s
