Why are isotopes with short half-lives not useful for dating very old rocks?

Chemistry

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Very old rocks would be been formed before said isotopes with short half-lives. We're thinking of a very long geological time. The original rock might be rock C, then years and years later rock Y would be measured. Y can't match C since there's too much unknowns in between.

Answer:

The radioactive isotopes within these brains typically record the ages of the grains-not the time when the sedimentary rock was formed, making it difficult to date using radiometric dating. The half-life of U-235 is 704 million years.

A gas under a pressure of 74 mmHg and at a temperature of 75°C occupies a 500.0-L container. How many moles of gas are in the co
Leona [35]

Answer : The number of moles of gas present in container are 1.697 mole.

Explanation :

Using ideal gas equation,

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas = 74 mmHg = 0.097 atm

conversion used : (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = volume of gas = 500.0 L

T = temperature of gas = 75^oC=75+273=348K

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get the number of moles of gas in the container.

(0.097atm)\times (500.0L)=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (348K)

n=1.697mole

Therefore, the number of moles of gas present in container are 1.697 mole.

For the homogeneous solution, consisting of kcl and h2o, indicate the type of forces that are involved.
zubka84 [21]
<span>The pairs of substances I would expect to form homogeneous solutions when combined will form a homogeneous because both are polar and form dispersion forces, dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding between the water molecules and ion-dipole forces between the K+ and Cl- ions and the water molecules.</span>

Please help me I'll try to give brainliest if I find out how​
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Acid + Oxide or Hydroxide

Many oxide, hydroxide and carbonate compounds

are insoluble in water, but do react with acid.

Acid + Oxide → Salt + Water

Acid + Hydroxide → Salt + Water

MgO (s) + HNO3 (aq) → Mg(NO3)2 (aq) + H2O (l)

CuOH (s) + HCl (aq) → CuCl (aq) + H2O (l)

Explanation:

lead compounds are the oxides: lead monoxide, PbO, in which lead is in the +2 state; lead dioxide, PbO2, in which lead is in the +4 state; and trilead tetroxide, Pb3O4. Lead monoxide exists in two modifications, litharge and massicot. Litharge, or alpha lead monoxide, is a red or reddish…
