Answer:

The missing section of the candle burns away and evaporates while some drips and collects at the base.

Explanation:

This is because a chemical reaction is occurring due to the heat, causing the molecule in the candles wax to move around faster and faster therefore causing melting.

A geological sample is found to have a Pb-206/U-238 mass ratio of 0.337/1.00. Assuming there was no Pb-206 present when the samp

Answer:

2.1x10⁹ years

Explanation:

U-238 is a radioactive substance, which decays in radioactive particles. It means that this substance will lose mass, and will form another compound, the Pb-206.

The time need for a compound loses half of its mass is called half-life, and knowing the initial mass (mi) and the final mass (m) the number of half-lives passed (n) can be found by:

m = mi/2ⁿ

The mass of Pb-206 will be the mass that was lost by U-238, so it will be mi - m. Thus, the mass ration can be expressed as:

(mi-m)/m = 0.337/1

mi - m = 0.337m

mi = 1.337m

Substituing mi in the expression of half-life:

m = 1.337m/2ⁿ

2ⁿ = 1.337m/m

2ⁿ = 1.337

ln(2ⁿ) = ln(1.337)

n*ln(2) = ln(1.337)

n = ln(1.337)/ln2

n = 0.4190

The time passed (t), or the age of the sample, is the half-life time multiplied by n:

t = 4.5x10⁹ * 0.4190

t = 1.88x10⁹ ≅ 2.1x10⁹ years

A compound composed of only sulfur and aluminum is analyzed. The mass ratio of aluminum to sulfur is found to be 1.00:1.78.
marta [7]

Answer:

a. Al2S3.

Explanation:

Molar mass of Al =  26.98

Molar mass of S = 32.06.

Ratio of AL:S is 1 : 1.78

Dividing by the moles we get:

0.0371  : 0.0555

= 1 : 1.5

So its Al2S3.
