Describe the concept of using radioactive elements to establish an age for a fossil. Be sure to include how the parent and daugh

Answer:

The nuclear decay of radioactive elements is a process that is a useful tool for determining the absolute age of fossils and rocks. It is used as a clock, in which daughter elements or isotopes converted from parent isotopes by decaying at a particular time.

Radioactive decay rates are constant and do not change over time. It is measured in half-life. A half-life is a time it takes half of a parent isotope to decay and converted into a stable daughter isotope. How many parent isotopes and daughter isotopes present in the fossil or their abundance can help in determining the age of fossil or rock.

Hello!

My argument: Which is better a Ps4 or an Xbox 1


The Ps4 is a better all-round console. The PS4 costs $100 less but has less games than the Xbox 1. The Xbox 1 now came up with dual compatible games. This means that certain games can now run on the Xbox 1 and the Xbox 360. The overall winner is really undetermined. The controller for Xbox has more quicker response time and is specifically built to be an extremely comfortable in your hands. Unlike the PS4 which their controller is built for nothing they really didn't do anything to theirs. Although the console comparisons are the same. The hard drive for the Xbox is non- removable meaning that if you want the hard drive. you would have to break the Xbox to get it . Unlike the Ps4 when you can take it out easily and switch it with any console and still have your data. I am an Xbox fan since for ever but I think that the two consoles are built the same.


Hope it helps!

The standard free energy of formation, ΔG∘f, of a substance is the free energy change for the formation of one mole of the subst
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

B. 2 Na(s) + O₂(g) → Na₂O₂(s); ΔG∘f=−451.0 kJ/mol

D. 2 SO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₂(g); ΔG°f=−600.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a reaction  is given by the value of the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction (ΔG°rxn). The more negative is the ΔG°rxn, the more spontaneous is a reaction.

The ΔG°rxn can be calculated using the following expression:

ΔG°rxn = ∑np × ΔG°f(products) − ∑nr × ΔG°f(reactants)

By definition, the standard Gibbs free energy of formation of simple substances in their most stable state is zero. That is why, in the reaction of formation of a compound ΔG°rxn = ΔG°f(product).

<em>Based on the standard free energies of formation, which of the following reactions represent a feasible way to synthesize the product? </em>

<em>     A. N₂(g) + H₂(g) → N₂H₄(g); ΔG°f=159.3 kJ/mol. </em>

<em>     </em>Not feasible. ΔG°rxn = ΔG°f(product) > 0.

    <em>B. 2 Na(s) + O₂(g) → Na₂O₂(s); ΔG°f=−451.0 kJ/mol</em>

    Feasible. ΔG°rxn = ΔG°f(product) < 0.

    <em>C. 2 C(s) + 2 H₂(g) → C₂H₄(g); ΔG°f=68.20 kJ/mol</em>

    Not feasible. ΔG°rxn = ΔG°f(product) > 0.

    <em>D. 2 SO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₂(g); ΔG°f=−600.4 kJ/mol</em>

    Feasible. ΔG°rxn = ΔG°f(product) < 0.

212 pb 82 is the isotope notation for iron. what is the atomic number, mass number, and number of both protons and neutrons?
o-na [289]

Hello!

The mass number in isotope notation is denoted A, the atomic number is denoted as Z, and the element is denoted as X.

In the given isotope, the mass of the isotope is 212 amu, and the atomic number is 82.

We know that the number of electrons, and protons are equal to the atomic number. Therefore, there are 82 protons. Also, to find the number of neutrons, we subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

212 - 82 = 130 neutrons

<u>Final answers</u>:  

  1. Atomic Number: 82
  2. Mass number: 212
  3. Number of Protons: 82
  4. Number of Neutrons: 130
