Basalt with half live of 10 million years and 1/8 is remaining, how old is rock?

1 answer:

6 0

You multiply 1/8 by 10,000,000 = 1,250,000

we know 3 half life makes 1/8

1/2*1/2*1/2 = 1/8 . 3 half lifes.

3 * 1,250,000 = 3,750,000

Which of the following is NOT a way that reducing biodiversity directly impacts humans?

Zepler [3.9K]

C. Fewer habitats for wild animals to live in

Explanation:

Biodiversity does not directly impact humans in that there are fewer habitats for wild animals to live in. This is a direct impact on animals and not humans.

Biodiversity is the variation of life forms in an area. It is measured by the ability of the ecosystem to sustain different life forms and keep their interaction with the environment.

It helps to maintain and sustain life.

To humans, reducing biodiversity;

reduces the potential of medicine derived from other organisms. When their habitat is lost, we lose them.
fewer ecosystems to appreciate for beauty and recreation. It leads to loss of the ecosystem.
fewer wild food species for humans to eat.

Loss of habitat directly affects wild animals and not man.

An unknown amount of acid can often be determined by adding an excess of base and then back-titrating the excess. A 0.3471−g sam

MAXImum [283]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of mixture = 0.3471 g

As the mixture contains oxalic acid and benzoic acid. So, oxalic acid will have two protons and benzoic acid has one proton.
