Answer:

683 million years

Explanation:

For radioactive nuclides, the time to decay is given by the expression:

t = -2.303 /k log (A/A₀)

where k is the decay constant and is calculated from the equation:

k = 0.693/ t₁/₂  where ₁/₂ is the half-life.

k = 0693/ 703 x 10⁶ yrs = 9.85 x 10⁻¹⁰ /yr

A = amount after time t

A₀ = amount originally present

Then

t = -2.303 / 9.85 x 10⁻¹⁰ /yr x log (0.51) = 683 x 10⁶ yr

Write an equation that shows the formation of a selenide ion from a neutral selenium atom
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Se + 2e- => Se-2

Explanation:

Ions are electrically charged particles, formed due to the gain or loss of electrons by an atom.

There are two types of ions cations and anions. An element that loses their electrons and forms positive ions are cations while metals and element that gains one or more electrons and forms negative ions are anions.

Selenium is an atom with atomic number 34 and represented as Se. The electronic configuration of Se is  1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p4. Selenium will gain 2 more electrons to complete it p orbital and form an ion Se-2.

The equation is as below:

Se + 2e- => Se-2

A physical change that may happen in a movie theater is:

You accidentally step on a piece of popcorn.

That piece of popcorn is still made up of the same things but LOOKS different. Therefore, the piece of popcorn went through a physical change.

Which is the correct equilibrium constant expression for the following reaction? 2brcl 3 (g) br 2 (g) 3cl 2 (g)
marishachu [46]

Kc = concentrations of product / concentrations of reactant

Kc = [Br₂] [Cl₂]₃ / [BrCl₃]₂

What is the equilibrium constant?

The relationship between a reaction's products and reactants with regard to a certain unit is expressed by the equilibrium constant(K) This article introduces the mathematics needed to determine the partial pressure equilibrium constant as well as how to formulate expressions for equilibrium constants. By allowing a single reaction to reach equilibrium and then measuring the concentrations of each chemical participating in that reaction, one can determine the numerical value of an equilibrium constant. it is the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations. The equilibrium constant for a given reaction is unaffected by the initial concentrations because the concentrations are measured at equilibrium.

During human development, certain cells of the blastocyst can develop into
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they can give rise to every cell type in the fully formed body, but not the placenta and umbilical cord. ... Human embryonic stem cells have been derived primarily from blastocysts created by in vitro fertilization (IVF) for assisted reproduction that were no longer needed
