How do scientists use radioactive decay to date fossils and artifacts

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a rock or fossil through radiometric dating methods. This uses radioactive minerals that occur in rocks and fossils almost like a geological clock. ... These isotopes break down at a constant rate over time through radioactive decay.

What is the mass of KOH found in a 785 mL of a 1.43 M solution of KOH

My name is Ann [436]

Molarity is defined as the ratio of number of moles to the volume of solution in litres.

The mathematical expression is given as:

$Molarity = \frac{Number of moles}{volume of solution in litres}$

Here, molarity is equal to 1.43 M and volume is equal to 785 mL.

Convert mL into L

As, 1 mL = 0.001 L

Thus, volume = $785\times 0.001$ = 0.785 L

Rearrange the formula of molarity in terms of number of moles:

$Number of moles =molarity\times volume of solution in litres$

n = $1.43 M \times 0.785 L$

= 1.12255 mole

Now, Number of moles = $\frac{mass in g}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of potassium hydroxide = 56.10 g/mol

1.12255 mole = $\frac{mass in g}{56.10 g/mol}$

mass in g = $1.12255 mole\times 56.10 g/mol$

= 62.97 g

Hence, mass of $KOH$ = 62.97 g

Antarctica, almost completely covered in ice, has an area

Marysya12 [62]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = $5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2$ (Conversion factor: $1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2$ )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = $182.88\times 10^3cm$ (Conversion factor: 1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}$

We are given:

Density of ice = $0.917g/cm^3$

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = $142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Hence, the mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

This diagram shows the forces acting on a car. The center dot represents the car, and the arrows represent the forces acting on

Mariulka [41]

Answer : The correct option is B- Towards the left.

Solution : Given,

Force on car in upward direction, $F_1$ = 6000 N

Force on car in downward direction, $F_2$ = 6000 N

Force on car in right direction, $F_3$ = 5000 N

Force on car in left direction, $F_4$ = 6000 N

Force : Force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration. The force is directly proportional to the acceleration.

Formula : F = m × a

where, F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

From the given diagram we conclude that the $F_1$ and $F_2$ are in opposite direction and the force acting on car are same. So, their net force is zero.

And in case of $F_3$ and $F_4$ , the net force will not be zero because force acting on car are different. The car will accelerate towards left direction because $F_4$ is higher than the $F_3$ .

So, the car will accelerate towards left direction.

Which notations represent hydrogen isotopes?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Isotopes are chemical elements with same atomic number (Z), but different mass number (different number of neutrons).

Hydrogen is an element with atomic number 1. It has three isotopes:

1) protium (₁¹H), with mass number 1 (no neutrons).

2) deuterium (₁²H), with mass number 2 (one neutrons, n° = 2 -1, n° = 1).

3) tritium (₁³H), with mass number 3 (two neutrons, n° = 3 -1, n° = 2).
