(2) U-238 is the radioisotope used in dating geological formations. Uranium-238 has a half-life of 4.46 billion years, which makes it suitable to date such old formations.
The other options do not have such long durabilities and half-lives.
The temperature stays the same when a solid changes to a liquid because energy is required to break the forces between particles of water therefore changing the state of matter and separating the particles away from each other.
When a liquid boils, the energy is needed by the particles to escape the surface of the liquid and boil. Instead of raising the temperature, the energy goes into the particles' kinetic energy store so it has enough speed to escape the surface of the liquid.
Answer:
e. adiabatic process
Explanation:
Adiabatic process -
In the thermodynamic system , an adiabatic process is the one which involves no transfer of mass or heat of the substance , is referred to adiabatic process.
In this process , the temperature need not be constant ,
But only the heat is transferred into or out of the system .
Hence, from the given information of the question,.
The correct option is e. adiabatic process .
