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).

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17 g of carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen. what is the correct representation of the
yarga [219]

CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.

The number of atom or moles in the compound is

1.17 g C X  1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.

0.287 g H x 1 mol of  H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.

This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.

So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.

Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.

we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.

0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.

So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.

We can write the above formula as a CH3.

Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.

For a detailed study of the empirical formula refer given link brainly.com/question/13058832.

Given the following values for the heats of formation, what is the number of moles of ethane (C2H6, MW 30.0) required to produce
baherus [9]

Answer:

0.641 moles of ethane

Explanation:

Based on the equation:

C2H6(g) + 7/2O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

We can determine ΔH of reaction using Hess's law. For this equation:

<em>Hess's law: ΔH products - ΔH reactants</em>

ΔH = {2ΔHCO2 + 3ΔHH2O} - {ΔHC2H6}

<em>Pure monoatomic substances have a ΔH = 0kJ/mol; ΔHO2 = 0kJ/mol</em>

<em />

ΔH = {2*-393.5kJ/mol + 3*-285.8kJ/mol} - {-84.7kJ/mol}

ΔH = -1559.7kJ/mol

That means when 1 mole of ethane is in combustion there are released 1559.7kJ of heat. To produce 1.00x10³kJ there are needed:

1.00x10³kJ * (1mole ethane / 1559.7kJ) =

<h3>0.641 moles of ethane</h3>
