How do scientists use radioactive decay to date fossils and artifacts

Chemistry
1 answer:
liubo4ka [24]4 years ago
8 0

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.

n unknown metal is either aluminum, iron or lead. If 150. g of this metal at 150.0 °C was placed in a calorimeter that contains
Nitella [24]

Answer : The metal used was iron (the specific heat capacity is 0.449J/g^oC).

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of unknown metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of unknown metal = 150 g

m_2 = mass of water = 200 g

T_f = final temperature of water = 34.3^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of unknown metal = 150.0^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 25.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

150g\times c_1\times (34.3-150.0)^oC=-200g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (34.3-25.0)^oC

c_1=0.449J/g^oC

Form the value of specific heat of unknown metal, we conclude that the metal used in this was iron (Fe).

Therefore, the metal used was iron (the specific heat capacity is 0.449J/g^oC).
