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

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 volume of 0.194 MNa3PO4 solution is necessary to completely react with 85.5 mL of 0.109 MCuCl2 ?
ira [324]

Answer:

35.9 ml

Explanation:

Start with the balanced equation:

3CuCl2(aq)+2Na3PO4(aq)→Cu3(PO4)2(s)+6NaCl(aq)

This tells us that 3 moles of CuCI2 react with 2 moles Na3PO4-

∴  1 mole CuCl2 will react with 2/3 moles Na3PO4

We know that concentration = moles/volume i.e:

c= n/v

∴n=c×v

∴nCuCl2=0.107×91.01000=9.737×10−3

I divided by 1000 to convert ml to L

∴nNa3PO4=9.737×10−3×23=6.491×10−3

v=nc=6.491×10−30.181=35.86×10−3L

∴v=35.86ml
