When temperature changes it melts the ice over the lake.
- As we know the melting point of ice or water is 0°C or 273K
- So if the temperature arises up to 0°C or 273.16K then the ice starts melting .
Answer:
2.1x10⁹ years
Explanation:
U-238 is a radioactive substance, which decays in radioactive particles. It means that this substance will lose mass, and will form another compound, the Pb-206.
The time need for a compound loses half of its mass is called half-life, and knowing the initial mass (mi) and the final mass (m) the number of half-lives passed (n) can be found by:
m = mi/2ⁿ
The mass of Pb-206 will be the mass that was lost by U-238, so it will be mi - m. Thus, the mass ration can be expressed as:
(mi-m)/m = 0.337/1
mi - m = 0.337m
mi = 1.337m
Substituing mi in the expression of half-life:
m = 1.337m/2ⁿ
2ⁿ = 1.337m/m
2ⁿ = 1.337
ln(2ⁿ) = ln(1.337)
n*ln(2) = ln(1.337)
n = ln(1.337)/ln2
n = 0.4190
The time passed (t), or the age of the sample, is the half-life time multiplied by n:
t = 4.5x10⁹ * 0.4190
t = 1.88x10⁹ ≅ 2.1x10⁹ years
Answer:
676mmHg
Explanation:
Using the formula;
P1/T1 = P2/T2
Where;
P1 = initial pressure (mmHg)
P2 = final pressure (mmHg)
T1 = initial temperature (K)
T2 = final temperature (K)
According to the information provided in this question;
P1 = 725.0mmHg
P2 = ?
T1 = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293K
T2 = 0°C = 0 + 273 = 273K
Using P1/T1 = P2/T2
725/293 = P2/273
Cross multiply
725 × 273 = 293 × P2
197925 = 293P2
P2 = 197925 ÷ 293
P2 = 676mmHg.
The resulting pressure is 676mmHg
