bija089 [108]3 years ago

5 0

Answer: Number of Significant Figures: 3

The Significant Figures are 6 0 2

Explanation:

6.02 x10^5

Significant figures are the digits of a number that are meaningful in terms of accuracy or precision. They include:

Any non-zero digit

Zeros between non-zero digits as in 3003 or 45.60009

Trailing zeros only when there is a decimal point as in 6750. or 274.3300

What would cause the shape of a molecule to be tetrahedral?

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A molecule is tetrahedral if the central atom has four bonds and no lone pairs.

Explanation:

A typical example is a molecule of methane (see image).

The electron pairs in the bonds repel the electrons in the other bonds, so they all try to get as far from each other as possible.

They can do this if the bonds point to the corners of a tetrahedron, with bond angles of 109.5°.

Since the half-life of 235U (7. 13 x 108 years) is less than that of 238U (4.51 x 109 years), the isotopic abundance of 235U has

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

$\mathtt{ t_1-t_2= In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2} \ years}$

Explanation:

Given that:

The Half-life of $^{235}U$ = $7.13 \times 10^8 \ years$ is less than that of $^{238} U = 4.51 \times 10^9 \ years$

Although we are not given any value about the present weight of $^{235}U$ .

So, consider the present weight in the percentage of $^{235}U$ to be y%

Then, the time elapsed to get the present weight of $^{235}U$ = $t_1$

Therefore;

$N_1 = N_o e^{-\lambda \ t_1}$

here;

$N_1$ = Number of radioactive atoms relating to the weight of y of $^{235}U$

Thus:

$In( \dfrac{N_1}{N_o}) = - \lambda t_1$

$In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_1}) = \lambda t_1$ --- (1)

However, Suppose the time elapsed from the initial stage to arrive at the weight of the percentage of $^{235}U$ to be = $t_2$

Then:

$In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_2}) = \lambda t_2$ ---- (2)

here;

$N_2$ = Number of radioactive atoms of $^{235}U$ relating to 3.0 a/o weight

Now, equating equation (1) and (2) together, we have:

$In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_1}) -In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_2}) = \lambda( t_1-t_2)$

replacing the half-life of $^{235}U$ = $7.13 \times 10^8 \ years$

$In( \dfrac{N_2}{N_1}) = \dfrac{In 2}{7.13 \times 10^9}( t_1-t_2)$ ( since $\lambda = \dfrac{In 2}{t_{1/2}}$ )

∴

$\mathtt{In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2}= t_1-t_2}$

The time elapsed signifies how long the isotopic abundance of 235U equal to 3.0 a/o

Thus, The time elapsed is $\mathtt{ t_1-t_2= In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2} \ years}$

Why are plant cells and animal cells different

Alenkinab [10]

The Plant cell has cell walls to prevent it from basting in case of large amount of water.
while the animal cell doesn't have cell walls.
