Answer:

<em><u>an abandoned field, a cooling lava flow, a valley under a glacier, and an unused farm</u></em>

Explanation:

Primary succession happens in a place where there is no soil cover or it is removed.

an abandoned field- Secondary; because there is cover of soil left, even if vegetation is removed.

a cooling lava flow- Primary; volcanic events lead to loss of soil layer, so this would lead to primary succession

a valley under a glacier- Primary; retreating glaciers are lead to primary succession

an unused farm-Secondary; the soil cover is still present

a burnt forest- Secondary; soil cover is still left for vegetation to start over again

a deserted mine- Primary; because there would be barren rocks left, so soil would be formed by pioneer species first.

Extend your thinking: The slow decay of radioactive materials can be used to find the age of rocks, fossils, and archaeological

lisov135 [29]

The age in years of the Egyptian papyrus, the Aboriginal charcoal, the Mayan headdress, and the Neanderthal skull are 4000 years, 13106.5years , 2040 years, and 30353 years respectively.

<h3>What is the half-life of a radioactive material?</h3>

The half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken for half the atoms present in the material to decay or disintegrate.

The half-life, $t_\frac{1}{2}$ , the age, t, and amount remaining, $A_{r}$ , of a radioactive material are related by the formula below:

$t = \frac{t_\frac{1}{2}*A_{r}}{-ln2}$

Half-life of carbon-14 = 6000 years

For the Egyptian papyrus with 63% of its original carbon-14 atoms: $t = \frac{6000*0.63}{-0.63} = 4000\:years$

For the Aboriginal charcoal with 22% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.22}{-0.63} = 13106.5\:years$

For the Mayan headdress with 79% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.79}{-0.63} = 2040\:years$

Neanderthal skull with 3% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.03}{-0.63} = 30353\:years$

Therefore, the age in years of the Egyptian papyrus, the Aboriginal charcoal, the Mayan headdress, and the Neanderthal skull are 4000 years, 13106.5years , 2040 years, and 30353 years respectively.

1. 2.0 mL/s x 4.0 hrs = ? L<br><br> How do you do this conversion problem

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

29 L.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, considering that we are performing a conversion by which the time should be cancelled out to obtain liters, we first need to convert the seconds on bottom to hours and then the volume on top to liters, just a shown down below:

$2.0\frac{mL}{s} *\frac{1L}{1000mL} *\frac{3600s}{1hr}*4.0hr\\\\=28.8L$

Which turns out 29 L with 2 significant figures.

Best regards!

Why are the densities of corn syrup and gasoline expressed as a range of values

balu736 [363]

<span> because gasoline changes volume as a function of temperature or because there are different grades of gasoline or because the values are given in different units of measure .</span>

Gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 69ga with a mass of 68.9256 amu and a natural abundance of 60.11% and 71ga. use th

Nataly [62]

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium: mass of Ga-69 isotope is 68.9256 amu and its percentage abundance is 60.11%, let the mass of other isotope that is Ga-71 be X, the percentage abundance can be calculated as:

%Ga-71=100-60.11=39.89%

Atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of its isotopes multiplied by their percentage abundance.

Thus, in this case:

Atomic mass= m(Ga-69)×%(Ga-69)+X×%(Ga-71)

From the periodic table, atomic mass of Ga is 69.723 amu.

Putting the values,

$69.723 amu=(68.9256 amu)(\frac{60.11}{100})+X(\frac{39.89}{100})$
