The following is the introduction to a special e-publication called Determining the Age of the Earth (click the link to see a table of contents). Published earlier this year, the collection draws articles from the archives of Scientific American. In the collection, this introduction appears with the title, “Stumbling Toward an Understanding of Geologic Timescales.”

astraxan [27]

Answer:

3,964 years.

Explanation:

  • It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope isotope obeys first order kinetics.
  • Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.
  • If reactant has initial concentration [A₀], after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).
  • Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.

  • The half-life of the element is 5,730 years.

  • For, first order reactions:

<em>k = ln(2)/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).</em>

Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

t1/2 is the half-life of the reaction.

∴ k =0.693/(t1/2) = 0.693/(5,730 years) = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.

  • Also, we have the integral law of first order reaction:

<em>kt = ln([A₀]/[A]),</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹).

t is the time of the reaction (t = ??? year).

[A₀] is the initial concentration of the sample ([A₀] = 100%).

[A] is the remaining concentration of the sample ([A] = 61.9%).

∴ t = (1/k) ln([A₀]/[A]) = (1/1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹) ln(100%/61.9%) = 3,964 years.

Basic molecules contain more ...
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Option C. hydroxide ions (OH-).

Explanation:

A base is a substance which dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ion (OH-) as the only negative ion. It therefore means that a base contains more hydroxide ions (OH-).
