1) How old is a bone in which the Carbon-14 in it has undergone 8 half-lives?

Using the graph form the picture you count 8 times the halving of C¹⁴ and you arrive at 45600 years.

2) In the process of radiocarbon dating, the fixed period of radioactive decay used to determine age is called the half-life.

3) A certain byproduct in nuclear reactors, 210Po, decays to become 206Pb. After a time period of about 276 days, only about 25% of an original sample of 210Po remains. The remainder has decayed to 206Pb. Determine the approximate half-life of 210Po.

What the problem is telling you is that at 276 days only 25% original sample remains. If you divide the number of days by two the quantity of original sample will be multiplied by two, and you will have 138 days and 50% of original sample. This is the answer because the the half-life of a isotope is the time in which 50% of original quantity of radioactive atoms will disintegrate.

R spectroscopy can be used to identify which _____________________ are present in a compound.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

IR spectroscopy can be used to identify chemical structures are present in compounds.

Explanation:

Infrared spectroscopy is a technique in organic chemistry that can be use use to identify chemical structures present in compounds because it is base on the ability of different functional groups to adsorb infrared light.

This work by shinning the infrared lights into the organic compounds to be identified, some of the frequencies of the infrared lights are adsorbed by the compounds and its identify groups of atoms and molecules in the compound.

What element has an r.m.m of 72​
igomit [66]

Answer:

Germanium

Explanation:

The element Germanium is one with a relative molecular mass of 72. This corresponds to the mass number of this element.

Relative molecular mass of an element is the mass of a formula unit to that of a carbon-12 atom.

The chemical symbol of Germanium is Ge. It is a lustrous and hard metalloid belonging to the carbon group.

It was discovered by Clemens Alexander Winkler.

What begins to happen to radioactive uranium as soon as a mineral containing it crystallizes from magma?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
<span>The radioactive uranium decays into its daughter product, lead. It would do this in magma as well, as nuclear decay depends on forces within the atom, not on the phase of the material in which the atom is a part.</span>

A farmer has a large field with one type of
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Disagree

Explanation:

Biodiversity is having a variety, or a diversity of life. Having one crop is not a variety, therefore this field does not have high biodiversity.

What amount of energy is required to change a spherical drop of water with a diameter of 1.80 mm to three smaller spherical drop
Gekata [30.6K]
This is a straightforward question related to the surface energy of the droplet. 

<span>You know the surface area of a sphere is 4π r² and its volume is (4/3) π r³. </span>

<span>With a diameter of 1.4 mm you have an original droplet with a radius of 0.7 mm so the surface area is roughly 6.16 mm² (0.00000616 m²) and the volume is roughly 1.438 mm³. </span>

<span>The total surface energy of the original droplet is 0.00000616 * 72 ~ 0.00044 mJ </span>

<span>The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original. Therefore </span>

<span>5 V = 1.438 mm³ so the volume of one of the smaller spheres is 1.438/5 = 0.287 mm³. </span>

<span>Since this smaller volume still has the volume (4/3) π r³ then r = cube_root(0.287/(4/3) π) = cube_root(4.39) = 0.4 mm. </span>

<span>Each of the smaller droplets has a surface area of 4π r² = 2 mm² or 0.0000002 m². </span>

<span>The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplets is then 5 * 0.000002 * 72.0 = 0.00072 mJ </span>
<span>From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 0.00072 and the difference in energy is 0.00072- 0.00044 mJ = 0.00028 mJ. </span>

<span>Therefore you need roughly 0.00028 mJ or 0.28 µJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.4 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets. </span>
