If a rock contains 75% lead 206 (Pb206) and 25% uranium 238 (U238), how old is the rock? Explain how you determined the answer. (2 points)

Answers

Answer 1

The age of the rock can be calculated from the half life of Uranium - 238. The age of the rock sample is 9 million years.

What is radioactivity?

The term radioactivity refers to the sponteanous decay of a material which leads to the production of daughter nuclei. We know that uranium 238 decays to lead 206  with a half life of 4.5 billion years.

Using;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log(No/N)

t1/2 = half life of uranium 238

t = age of the rock sample

No = initial amount of uranium 238

N = amount of uranium 238 after time t

Now;

0.693/4.5 * 10^9 = 2.303/t log (No/0.25No)

0.693/4.5 * 10^9 = 2.303/t log(1/0.25)

0.693/4.5 * 10^9 =1.387/t

1.54 * 10^-10 = 1.387/t

t =  1.387/1.54 * 10^-10

t = 9 million years

The age of the rock sample is 9 million years.

(Which organism provides energy to all other organisms in this ecosystem?)


A mushrooms

B coyote


C prairie grass


D prairie dog

Answers

Answer:

Your answer would be:
C.) Praire Grass

Explanation:

In a prairie ecosystem, the population (grass, sun, etc.) with the most amount of stored energy for use by other organisms would be the prairie grasses. The grasses will gather the energy from the sun storing it. A herbivore would come along and eat it gaining energy from it. Unfortunately, the herbivore will only gain an amount of energy that is 10x less than the plant had. If a carnivore ate the herbivore then the carnivore would gain energy but 10x less than the carnivore had gained.
(Example)

Plant: 1,000,000 *gathers energy from the sun*

Herbivore: 100,000 *gains energy but, 10x less than the plant gained*

Carnivore: 10,000 *gains energy but, 10x less energy than the herbivore gained*

Fungus: 1,000 *in a process called decomposition the fungus will gather energy from a dead organism* *the energy it gets may vary because it depends if it is a herbivore or carnivore that has decomposed* *In this example however it is a carnivore*

Animals that eat fungus: 100

Animals that eat the animal up above: 10

And it's important to see that as the energy is dispersed more and more it, becomes less energy given to each organism.

What is fossil ?

Any surviving remnants, impression, or evidence of a once-living creature from a previous geological epoch is referred to as a fossil. Examples include fossilized bones, shells, exoskeletons, animal or microbe impressions in stone, amber-preserved artifacts, hair, petrified wood, oil, coal, and DNA traces.

There are four basic categories of fossils, each generated in a unique method and useful for conserving various kinds of animals. These include true form fossils, mold fossils, cast fossils, and trace fossils.

In river valleys, cliffs, hillsides, and man-made exposures like quarries and road cuts, sedimentary rocks of the appropriate age are exposed, and these are the places where fossils are most commonly found.

Calculate the degree of hydrolysis of a 02.M solution of NaHCO3. Ka1 = 4.3x10-7 and Ka2 = 4.8x10-11.

Answers

The degree of hydrolysis of 02.M solution of NaHCO₃ = 2.33 * 10⁻⁸

Given data :

Concentration of NaHCO₃ = 0.2 M

Ka1 = 4.3 * 10⁻⁷

Ka2 = 4.8 * 10⁻¹¹

Determine the degree of hydrolysis

NaHC0₃  ----> Na⁺ + HCO₃

where : Na⁺ is a stronger and HCO₃ is weaker

Therefore;

hydrolysis will occur at HCO₃

HCO₃ + excess water --> H₂CO₃ + OH⁻ --- kh

kh = hydrolysis constant

Also

Kh = Kw / Ka1

where ; Kw = ionic product of water ( 10⁻¹⁴ ) , Ka1 = dissociation constant

Finally the degree of hydrolysis is

Kh = ( 10⁻¹⁴ ) / 4.3 * 10⁻⁷

    = 2.33 * 10⁻⁸

Hence we can conclude that The degree of hydrolysis of 02.M solution of NaHCO₃ = 2.33 * 10⁻⁸

Why are there often holes in slices of bread? The holes are created by bubbles of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) that form in the bread dough before and during baking.

In addition to carbon dioxide gas, a substance called ethanol (C2H6O) forms during this process.

This chemical reaction comprises alcoholic fermentation, an anaerobic (oxygen-independent) metabolic process. There is only one reactant here, and that reactant is glucose.

The balanced chemical equation for the alcoholic fermentation of glucose by yeast is C6H12O6 → 2C2H6O + 2CO2. The ethanol and carbon dioxide are the two products.

The given reaction describes the decomposition of glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide. This process is called fermentation. The reactant of this reaction is glucose.

What is fermentation ?

Fermentation is the process of conversion of sugar molecule into other substance b the action of microbes such as yeast. In cellular respiration the glucose molecule is converting to carbon dioxide and water. Where as, in fermentation, the glucose is converting to carbon dioxide and ethanol.

Does your result support the notion that straight-chain hydrocarbons (that is, hydrocarbons in which the C atoms are joined in a line) are less stable than branched-chain hydrocarbons?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Butane ⇒ Isobutane

ΔG = RT ln K

ΔG = - 18 + 15.9 = - 2.1 kJ / mol

- 2.1 x 10³ = 8.3 x 298 x lnK

lnK = .85

K = 2.33

[ isobutane ] / [ butane ]  = 2.33

isobutane / total mixture = 2.33 / 3.33 = .7

% of isobutane = 70 % .

70% is isobutane and 30 %  butane . Since equilibrium is tilted towards isobutane , it is more stable . Butane is straight chain and isobutane is branched chain compound .
