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

Chemistry
1 answer:
seropon [69]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

because not enough of the parent isotope remains to measure accurately. because not enough of the daughter product has formed to be detectable.

Explanation:

Hope it helps

The reaction 2a + 3b → c is first order with respect to a and
daser333 [38]

Answer:

6.30 M⁻¹s⁻¹.

Explanation:

As the reaction is first order with respect to a and b.

<em>The rate of the reaction = k [a][b],</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

The rate of the reaction = 2.65 × 10⁻⁴ M/s,

[a] = 1.60 × 10⁻² M,

[b] = 2.67 × 10⁻³ M.

∴ k = (the rate of the reaction / [a][b]) = (2.65 × 10⁻⁴ M/s) / (1.60 × 10⁻² M)( 2.67 × 10⁻³ M) = 6.30 M⁻¹s⁻¹.

The volume of a sample of gas (4.32 g) was 752 mL at 1.98 ATM and 62°C. The gas is​
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Bromine

Explanation:

To identify the gas, you first need to find the moles of the gas. You can do this using the Ideal Gas Law:

PV = nRT

In this equation,

-----> P = pressure (atm)

-----> V = volume (L)

-----> n = moles

-----> R = Ideal Gas Constant (0.08206 atm*L/mol *K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

After converting mL to L and Celsius to Kelvin, you can plug the values into the equation and simplify to find the moles.

P = 1.98 atm                                            R = 0.08206 atm*L/mol *K

V = 752 mL / 1,000 = 0.752 L                T = 62 °C + 273.15 = 335.15 K

n = ? moles

PV = nRT

(1.98 atm)(0.752 L) = n(0.08206 atm*L/mol *K)(335.15 K)

1.48896 = n(27.5024)

0.0541 = n

You can identify the gas by determining the molar mass of the gas, which is specific to each element. The molar mass exists as a ratio that compares the mass per 1 mole.

Molar Mass = mass / moles

Molar Mass = 4.32 g / 0.0541 moles

Molar Mass = 79.8 g/mol

This molar mass is closest to the molar mass of bromine (79.904 g/mol).
