@X@user.full_name@X@ @GMU: Uranium -238 decays in a series of steps to Pb-206. When the material is very old, one can treat the kinetics as a decay directly to Pb and the ratio of these two can be treated as a measure of the age of a rock. A rock containing 238U and 206Pb was examined to determine its approximate age. The molar ratio of 206Pb to 238U was 0.1852. Assuming no lead was originally present and that all lead formed remained in the rock, what is the age of the rock (in years)? The half-life of 238U is 4.50e9 yr.

@X@user.full_name@X@ @GMU: What is the temperature at which the reaction below becomes spontaneous, if the standard entropies of reactants and products at 25oC are So (C(gr)) = 5.74 J/mol*K, So(H2(g)) = 130.68 J/mol*K, and So (C6H6(g)) = 269.2000J/mol*K and the heat of formation of C6H6(g)) is 82.9300 kJ/mol?C6H6(g) → 6C(gr) + 3H2(g)

@X@user.full_name@X@ @GMU: Initially there were equilibrium concentrations of 0.3387 M A, 0.2024 M B, and 0.1151 M C. Which change will cause the equilibrium to shift from left to right if the reaction is endothermic? Use the reaction below.5A(aq) → 3 B(aq) +2 C(aq) K = 0.999
