Answer:

They can be dated using radioactive carbon. But for rocks older than 50 thousand years they look for layers of igneous rock or volcanic ash above and Bellow the layer of rock/fossil.

Look at the periodic table in Appendix 1. Name two elements that do not appear in order of their relative atomic masses.

e-lub [12.9K]

iodine which should appear before tellurium and argon which should appear after potassium

There is a 3rd one: nickel should appear before cobalt

When the equation Sn + HNO₃ → SnO₂ + NO₂ + H₂O is balanced in acidic solution, what is the smallest whole-number coefficient for

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction we first assign the oxidation state for each species:

$Sn^0 + H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 + N^{4+}O^{2-}_2 + H^+_2O^-$

Whereas the half reactions are:

$Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O$

Next, we exchange the transferred electrons:

$1\times(Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-)\\\\4\times (H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O)\\\\\\Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +4e^-\rightarrow 4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

Afterwards, we add them to obtain:

$Sn^0+2H_2O+4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

By adding and subtracting common terms we obtain:

$Sn^0+4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+2H_2O$

Finally, by removing the oxidation states we have:

$Sn + 4HNO_3 \rightarrow SnO_2 + 4NO_2 + 2H_2O$

Therefore, the smallest whole-number coefficient for Sn is 1.

Regards.

Hello!

My argument: Which is better a Ps4 or an Xbox 1

The Ps4 is a better all-round console. The PS4 costs $100 less but has less games than the Xbox 1. The Xbox 1 now came up with dual compatible games. This means that certain games can now run on the Xbox 1 and the Xbox 360. The overall winner is really undetermined. The controller for Xbox has more quicker response time and is specifically built to be an extremely comfortable in your hands. Unlike the PS4 which their controller is built for nothing they really didn't do anything to theirs. Although the console comparisons are the same. The hard drive for the Xbox is non- removable meaning that if you want the hard drive. you would have to break the Xbox to get it . Unlike the Ps4 when you can take it out easily and switch it with any console and still have your data. I am an Xbox fan since for ever but I think that the two consoles are built the same.

Hope it helps!

The modern periodic table is arranged by increasing

Lilit [14]

The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods.
