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.

Explanation:

hope this helps but if i'm wrong then i'm sorry..

What substance is oxidized in the following reaction? 4HCl + MnO2 → Cl2 + 2H2O + MnCl2
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Cl⁻ was oxidized.

Explanation:

  • 4HCl + MnO₂ → Cl₂ + 2H₂O + MnCl₂

Oxidation can be defined as the process in which the oxidation number of a substance increases.

On the left side of the equation, Cl has a charge of -1 (in HCl); while on the right side of the equation Cl has a charge of 0 in Cl₂.

Thus, Cl⁻ was oxidized.

A student with an unknown code of Q3A conducts a qualitative analysis of her unknown. Her results indicated the formation of a y
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Grey precipitate implies the presence of silver ions

Yellow precipitate implies the presence of lead II ions

Explanation:

Qualitative analysis provides us a quick method of identifying ions present in a sample by chemical reactions involving simple reagents. Precipitates having a unique colour is formed. The identity of ions in the sample is deduced from the colour of precipitate obtained when particular reagents are added.

In the question, a precipitate containing silver ions upon standing turn into grey colour. Similarly, lead II ions give a yellow precipitate.
