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).

29.5 g of mercury is heated from 32°C to 161°C, and absorbs 499.2 joules of heat in the process. Calculate the specific heat cap
Finger [1]

Answer:

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of mercury = 29.5 g

Initial temperature = 32°C

Final temperature = 161°C

Heat absorbed = 499.2 j

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Q = m.c. ΔT

ΔT  = T2 - T1

ΔT  = 161°C - 32°C

ΔT  = 129 °C

Q = m.c. ΔT

c = Q / m. ΔT

c = 499.2 j / 29.5 g. 129 °C

c =  499.2 j / 3805.5 g. °C

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

To three significant digit,what is the mass percentage of iron in the compound Fe2O3​
svlad2 [7]

69.9%

Explanation:

To find the mass percentage of iron in the compound in Fe₂O₃, we would go ahead to express the given molar mass of the iron to that of the compound.

 Mass percentage  = \frac{molar mass of Fe}{Molar mass of Fe_{2}O_{3}  }  x 100

Molar mass of Fe = 55.85g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16g/mol

Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = 2(55.85) + 3(16) = 159.7‬g/mol

Mass percentage  = \frac{2(55.85)}{159.7}  x  100   = 69.94% = 69.9%
