Answer: 2. cannot be an element.
Explanation:
Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper 
Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: methane 

Thus as it can be decomposed into its constituent elements, it is a compound.
Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present.
Thus methane cannot be an element.
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.
ΔHrxn = ΣδΗ(bond breaking) - ΣδΗ(bond making)
Bond enthalpies,
N ≡ N ⇒ 945 kJ mol⁻¹
N - Cl ⇒ 192 kJ mol⁻¹
Cl - Cl⇒ 242 kJ mol⁻¹
According to the balanced equation,
ΣδΗ(bond breaking) = N ≡ N x 1 + Cl - Cl x 3
= 945 + 3(242)
= 1671 kJ mol⁻¹
ΣδΗ(bond making) = N - Cl x 3 x 2
= 192 x 6
= 1152 kJ mol⁻¹
δHrxn = ΣδΗ(bond breaking) - ΣδΗ(bond making)
= 1671 kJ mol⁻¹ - 1152 kJ mol⁻¹
= 519 kJ mol⁻¹
Answer
pOH = 4.1
Explanation
<em>Given:</em>
pH = 9.9
<em>Required</em>: The concentration of OH-
Solution
pH + pOH = 14
9.9 + pOH = 14
pOH = 14-9.9
pOH = 4.1
