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

Chemistry

kherson [118]2 years ago

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..

Answer: picture shows work for # 1,2,4,5,7

Explanation:

number 3: as the pressure in the volume decreases, the volume increases causing it to expand and eventually blow.

number 6: because the temperature and the amount of gas don’t change, these terms don’t appear in the equation. What Boyle’s law means is that the volume of a mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. This linear relationship between pressure and volume means doubling the volume of a given mass of gas decreases its pressure by half.

hope this helps :))

Which of the metals below will dissolve in hydrochloric acid, HCl? gold, Au copper, Cu silver, Ag magnesium, Mg
Lera25 [3.4K]
Magnesium (Mg)

The reason for this is the reactivity of the listed metals. Gold and silver are extremely unreactive metals. It is because of this unreactive nature that they remain in good condition for long periods of time, and are preferred in jewelry. Copper, although more reactive than gold and silver, is still not reactive enough to react with HCl. 
The only metal that will react is magnesium.

Each incomplete reaction is a neutralization reaction. Match each equation with the salt formed. 1. H2SO4 + 2NH4OH → ? 2. 2NaOH
sergey [27]

1. H₂SO₄ + 2NH₄OH ⟶ (NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2H₂O


2. 2NaOH + H₂CO₃ ⟶ Na₂CO₃ + 2H₂O


3. HNO₃ + KOH ⟶ KNO₃ + H₂O


<em>Explanation</em>:

Acid + base ⟶ salt + water


Take the H from the acid and the OH from the base to get water.


Then, join what’s left to get the salt. Write the symbol for the metal first.


For example, in equation 3, take the H from HNO₃ and the OH from KOH.


Combining the remaining parts (NO₃ and K) to get the salt, KNO₃.

Which hydrogen atom would be most easily extracted by a bromine atom?
DerKrebs [107]
The proton which is easily abstracted in 1-Benzyl-3-propylbenzene is the proton which is present on carbon atom in between two phenyl rings, or the central carbon which is shared by two benzene rings.

This easy abstraction of proton is due to its high acidity. Remember those species are always more acidic whose conjugate base is stable. Like the acidity of carboxylic acid is due to stability of the acetate ion. 

In our case the stability of conjugate base arises due to stability of negative ion due to resonance. As shown below, the negative charge can delocalize on both rings.

I have shown the resonance of negative ion on both Phenyl rings with Blue and Pink colors.<span />
