Question Amongst the radioactive elements that were incorporated when the earth was formed were: uranium 238U with a half-life of 4.5 × 10^9 y uranium 235U with a half-life of 7.1 × 10^8y thorium 230Th with a half-life of 8.0 × 10^4 y iron 60Fe with a half-life of 1.5 × 10^6 y manganese 53Mn with a half-life of 3.6 × 10^6 y thorium 232Th with a half-life of 13.9 × 10^9 y or 1.39 x 10^10 Given that the earth is believed to have formed 4600 Ma ago, which of the above could still be contributing to the radioactive heating of it's interior? Answer In that case 4600 Ma = 4.6 x 10^9 y Start by calculating the ratio of what is le…

hey everyone, I am doing QM, trying to solve as much problems there are to get a strong hold of the idea. here one question which i cant understand, i think that there is not enough information to solve this one; Assuming that a chemical bond can be modelled as a one-dimensional box,estimate the order of magnitude of the de Broglie wavelength of an electron in a typical chemical bond. do you think we have enough information in the question to solve this. The de broglie wavelength can be calculated using [math] lambda = \frac {h}{p} [/math] where p is momentum. how do you calculate momentum? I dont get it. Could anyone help. thanks!.

Hi all, Can anyone here please help me understand how to convert weight into pressure? I have two mats filled with air both connected to indecent air pressure sensors. One mat has a surface area of 12”x 12” and the other mat has a surface of 24” x 24”. I won’t to apply a small AA battery which has a weight of 10grams to both mats. Even though one mat has a bigger surface area than the other, would the pressure exerted by the 10 gram weight me the same? Please see picture to help understand where I am coming from: http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww191/avoinvents/weighttopressure.jpg Thank you all in advance.

Ok need help with a couple of questions; I am doing past papers and there is this question which I have attempted on my own but am not sure if I did right. A sample of hydrogen gas is held in a pressurised reaction vessel at 350 K and 2 bar claculate ; (i). the mean speed c(bar) (ii). the collision frequency z It also has given the sigma(H2) =0.27 nm^2 (i) I used the mean speed formula (8RT/pi*M)^1/2 to get 1924.83 m/s. The only thing I am not sure about is if I can use this formula(the confusing thing for me is the pressure of 2 bar, not standard pressure). I can calculate z, once i know that i calculated the mean speed right. Can anyone tell me i…

This is basically a true or false statement. If it is false, I am supposed to rewrite a correct statement: Osmosis will not take place if a dead cell is placed in a solution hyotonic to its contents. I am aware of what osmosis is and I also know that a cell in hypotonic solution will expand due to the lower solute concentration outside of the cell. However, I am not aware if dead cells are able to go through osmosis nor can I find information regarding dead cells and osmosis anywhere. Thanks for any help

I'm working on a genetics assignment for uni and need some help to get me on the right track. It is about crossing Drosophila flys with veinless wings, forked bristles and a yellow body. The question is - Indicate whether the cross is (i) mutant females with wild type males, (ii)mutant males with wild type females or (iii) both(ie a recipricol cross), to produce an F1 generation that will enable you to determine if the traits are dominant or recessive and if they are sex linked. Draw mating diagrams and punnett squares to support your answer. As far as I can work out I think I need to be doing a recipricol cross? Can someone explain how this cross works to me I thin…

How do I differentiate this? (x^2-3x+2)(sqrt x) What i did was this: (x^2-3x+2)(1/2x^-1/2)+(2x-3)(sqrt x) But what is the next step?

Tomorrow my school will be having final test. And this question is not for homework actually but there's something I don't understand for the test tomorrow. The question I would like to know is about formula of Volts, Ressistance and Ampere. This is the sample question I'm confused with: -What is the meaning of the term 'equivalent resistance'? I want to know how to find resistance in a circuit, or to find their potential different and current. Thank You for the help, I'm new here.

Plz help i just dont knwo how to solve it i just want a little help.thz Water at the rate of 68kg/min is heated from 35 to 37 C by oil having a specific heat of 1.9kj/kg C. The fluids are used in a counter double pipe heat exchanger, & ayhe oil enters the exchanger at 110 C & leave at 75 C/.The overall heat transfer coefficient is 320 W/m^2 C. Calculate the heat exchanger area. Answer is 15.82 m^2

This is actually a project, but.. I have to make a small self contained ecosystem modeling the chaparral biome, and once I set it all up I leave it sealed for 3 days before adding organisms, then I can go ahead and add the organism but seal it once again for 2 weeks. I know chaparral is kinda an inbetween of grassland and desert and is generally the result of destroyed forest so it has poor soil, and during most of the year it is pretty dry. So what are some suggestions of autotrophs I can place and let grow and in these poor conditions? And would I need to add any insects(I want to avoid large animals) or bacteria to keep stable cycles like water/carbon/nitrogen/p…

okayy. so im doing this project for my planets and moons class at school, and i am supposed to type a two page report about a "creature" of my choice to live on any planet. i chose the planet URANUS. im trying to figure out how my creature can breathe on the the planet Uranus. I know that there is methane hydrogen and helium on the planet. Is there a way you can breathe those gases? or are they perfectly okay to breathe in? will they even hurt you if they are inhaled?

hello, if anyone could help me with these biochem problems I will greatly appreciate it! a) if you magnify a cell 10,000 fold, how big will it appear if the the is eukaryotic with a cellular diameter of 50micrometers? I did 50micrometer= 5.0x10^-5m 5.0x10^-5m times 10,000= 0.5m 0.5m equals 500mm, which is the answer, but how do I solve the following parts? b) if the cell was a muscle cell, how many actin molecules could it hold, if the cell is spherical and there are no other cellular components present and actin molecules are spherical with a 3.6nm diameter. and the volume of the sphere is 4/3(pi)®^3. I did 3.6nm/2= radius= 1.8nm=1.8x10^-9m the 50micro…

The drift velocity is directly proportional to the current in the conductor. If electrons have a drift velocity of 1.6*10^-4 m s^-1 for a current of 10 A in a certain conductor, what would be their velocity if the current was 5.0 A? What is drift velocity by the way? Any help on the above will be appreciated!

Hi. I need to draw a diagram to show the process of alloying any two metals.

Hello, everyone. This is my first post. I'm having trouble with a problem from my general chemistry homework. Everytime I work it out, I end up with a ridiculously large pressure. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. The problem is written as follows: In the "Methode Champenoise," grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is C6H12O6(aq)---> 2 C2H5OH(aq) + 2 CO2(g) Fermentation of 750. mL of grape juice (density=1.0g/mL) is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 825mL until 12% by volume is ethanol (C2H5OH). Assuming that the CO2 is insoluble in water (actually, a wrong assumption), what …

Ok im studying just because I want to learn all about well everything,a nd Ive started with some chemistry. Im working through atomic structure at the moment, and i am really puzzled by one part of it, and after browsing the net for ages I cannot find an answer for this. with sub shells I've noticed that the 4s energy level is filled before the 3d energy level, I want to know why this is, and also if there is a formula for working out which energy levels get filled before others. because Having 4s filled before 3d is confusing enough, but when I start getting into the f orbital equations and i think that 4f comes above 5s ect it all gets very tricky for me to work out…

After browsing a few pages looking for a definition of the word Mole I cannot find one which is similar to the last definition I found. Could someone tell me what A Mole is. Also here is a sentence in my chemistry book that uses the word and I don't understand what any of it means. "The first Ionisation Energy of an element is the energy required to remove 1 electron from each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions." Also, what's a gaseous atom?

Hi, can someone help me with solving this thing? I'm at the exam at the mo, stuck on this one... thank you!
