Answer:
a) a0 was 46.2 grams
b) It will take 259 years
c) The fossil is 1845 years old
Explanation:
<em>An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago?</em>
A = A0 * (1/2)^(t/h)
⇒ with A = the final amount = 46.2 grams
⇒ A0 = the original amount
⇒ t = time = 8 hours
⇒ h = half-life time = 3.2 hours
46.2 = Ao*(1/2)^(8/3.2)
Ao = 261.35 grams
<em>Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 34.0% of an Am-241 sample to decay?</em>
t = (ln(0.66))-0.693) * 432 = 259 years
It will take 259 years
<em>A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80% that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. How old is the fossil?</em>
<em />
t = (ln(0.80))-0.693) * 5730 = 1845
The fossil is 1845 years old
Sedimentary rocks don't necessarily make fossils. Although when animals die on top of the rocks and are never moved, blown away, etc they can get trapped under the growing rock. Which is why fossils are often found in sedimentary rocks.
In covalent bonding electrons are shared betweed adjacent atoms.
This kind of bonding means that none of the atoms are detached from its electrons.
A molecule of compound is formed when two or more atoms are bonded through covalent bonds. The electrons shared are considered part of the valence electrons (outer energy level) of both atoms forming the covalent bonding.
Answer:
The energy of the photon is directly proportional to the frequency of the light emitting the photon.
Explanation:
Energy of the photon is given by expression:
E = Energy associated with the photon
= frequency of the light
h = Planck's constant =
c = speed of the light in vacuum = constant
=Wavelength of the photon
The energy of the photon is directly proportional to the frequency of the light emitting the photon.
