How can carbon dating be used to study the history of the earth?

1 answer:

7 0

The amount of carbon in fossils and artifacts decreases when the get older, so you can find out how old an object or fossil is by finding out how much carbon is in it.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

(a) The normal freezing point of water (J·K−1·mol−1) is $-22Jmole^-^1k^-^1$

(b) The normal boiling point of water (J·K−1·mol−1) is $-109Jmole^-^1K^-^1$

(c) the chemical potential of water supercooled to −5.0°C exceed that of ice at that temperature is 109J/mole

Explanation:

Lets calculate

(a) - General equation -

$(\frac{d\mu(\beta )}{dt})p-(\frac{d\mu(\alpha) }{dt})_p$ = $-5_m(\beta )+5_m(\alpha )$ = $-\frac{\Delta H}{T}$

$\alpha ,\beta$ → phases

ΔH → enthalpy of transition

T → temperature transition

$(\frac{d\mu(l)}{dT})_p -(\frac{d\mu(s)}{dT})_p$ = $= -\frac{\Delta_fH}{T_f}$

= $\frac{-6.008kJ/mole}{273.15K}$ ( $\Delta_fH$ is the enthalpy of fusion of water)

= $-22Jmole^-^1k^-^1$

(b) $(\frac{d\mu(g)}{dT})_p-(\frac{d\mu(l)}{dT})_p= -\frac{\Delta_v_a_p_o_u_rH}{T_v_a_p_o_u_r}$

= $\frac{40.656kJ/mole}{373.15K}$ ( $\Delta_v_a_p_o_u_rH$ is the enthalpy of vaporization)

= $-109Jmole^-^1K^-^1$

$[\mu(l-5$ ° $C)-\mu(l,0$ ° $C)]$ = $[\mu(s-5$ ° $C)-\mu(s,0$ ° $C)]$ $=-S_m$ ΔT

$\mu(l,-5$ ° $C)-\mu(s,-5$ ° $C)=-Sm\DeltaT [\mu(l,0$

$\Delta\mu=(21.995Jmole^-^1K^-^1)\times (-5K)$

= 109J/mole

Describe the main difference between the Bohr model and the electron cloud model of the atom

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The main difference between the two models is the position of the electron in the atom.

Explanation:

Bohr model: The electrons are moved around the nucleus in circular definite paths (orbitals or shells). Also, he could not find or detect the exact position of electron.

Electron cloud model: It is supposed by Erwin Schrodinger. He showed that the emission spectra of the atom is the way to detect the probability of electron position.

You put two open cans of soda on the table. You took one can from the refrigerator and the other from your car. When you open th

jarptica [38.1K]

The soda can from the car will lose CO2 more quickly. This is because of the kinetic energy and behavior of gas molecules under different temperatures. CO2 is more soluble in cold temperatures than hot. Cold temperatures minimize the kinetic energy of gas molecules; thus, preventing the gas from escaping the soda. This is why soda that comes from the refrigerator has more fizz or spirit than soda at room temperature.
