A volcanic eruption melts a large area of rock, and all gases are expelled. After cooling, 40Ar (atomic number 18) accumulates from the ongoing decay of 40K (atomic number 19) in the rock (t1/2 = 1.25 × 109 yr). When a piece of rock is analyzed, it is found to contain 1.07 mmol of 40K and 1.45 mmol of 40Ar. How long ago did the rock cool? Enter your answer in scientific notation.

Supongamos que estás estudiando dos estrellas. ambas estrellas tienen la misma magnitud aparente, pero la estrella a tiene una magnitud absoluta mayor que la estrella b. ¿que puedes decir acerca de la distancia a la tierra de estas dos estrellas?

Hannah is writing a report on how albedo affects the global climate. she’s proofreading her passage for any factual errors. which sentence must hannah correct before submitting her report? earth receives energy from the sun. this energy drives many of the processes on earth, including its climate. some part of this energy is reflected by earth’s surface. we use the term albedo to describe the reflected energy. albedo of an object is the ratio of the reflected radiation to the total radiation reaching the object. a value of 0 means no energy is absorbed by the object, whereas a value of 1 means that all of the energy is absorbed. in this way, the albedo of an object can influence earth’s atmospheric temperature.
