The number of years required for 1/4 cobalt-60 to remain after decay is calculated as follows
after one half life 1/2 of the original mass isotope remains
after another half life 1/4 mass of original mass remains
therefore if one half life is 5.3 years then the years required
= 2 x 5.3years = 10.6 years
Answer:
Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. While the process of forming these mountain ranges is volcanic, volcanoes and earthquakes along oceanic spreading ridges are not as violent as they are at convergent plate boundaries.
Explanation:
Answer:
The first one
Explanation:
Elements are as simple as it gets
Answer:- 3. 
and 
Explanations:- An empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in the molecule/compound.
For example, the molecular formula of benzene is 
. The ratio of C to H in it is 6:6 that could be simplified to 1:1. So, an empirical formula of benzene is CH.
In the first pair, the ratio of C to H in first molecule is 2:4 that could be simplified to 1:2 and the empirical formula is 
. In second molecule the ratio of C to H is 6:6 and it could be simplified to 1:1. and the empirical formula is CH. Empirical formulas are different for both the molecules of first pair and so it is not the right choice.
In second pair, C to H ratio in first molecule is 1:2, so the empirical formula is . The C to H ratio for second molecule is 1:4, so the empirical formula is 
. Here also, the empirical formulas are not same and hence it is also not the right choice.
In third pair, C to H ratio in first molecule is 1:3, so the empirical formula is . In second molecule the C to H ratio is 2:6 and it is simplified to 1:3. So, the empirical formula for this one is also . Hence. this is the correct choice.
In fourth pair, first molecule empirical formula is CH. Second molecule has 2:4 that is 1:2 mole ratio of C to H and so its empirical formula is . As the empirical formulas are different, it is not the right choice.
So, the only and only correct pair is the third one. 3. and
