Amass spectrometer was used to measure the 87rb/ 86sr (plot on x axis) and 87sr/ 86sr (plot on y-
axis) isotope ratios in 10 different rock samples from a series of lava flows that appeared, based on their
field relations, to be contemporaneous (i. e., erupted at about the same time). assume that all precautions
were taken to assure high -quality data – including running of duplicate samples – so you can rule out
analytical errors in the analyses. start by plotting the data to obtain an isochron, and then answer the
following questions:

1. what is the age of these rocks in ma?
2. if you are asked to exclude some of the samples from your calculations, which sample/s? you
would exclude? after having done that, calculate the new age and the initial ratio!
what is the meaning of this initial ratio?
3. where did the samples plot on your diagram at t=0?

Aradio signal from a gps satellite take only about 0.067 seconds to reach a gps reciever. if the speed of light is about 300,000km/s, then approximately how far away is the reciever from from the satellite?

Predict the reactants of this chemical reaction. that is, fill in the left side of the chemical equation. be sure the equation you submit is balanced. (you can edit both sides of the equation to balance it, if you need to.) note: you are writing the molecular, and not the net ionic equation. > cacl2(aq) + h20(l)

I'm learning about the periodic tables and what each subject's configuration is. for example, hydrogen is 1s^1, but i don't understand how you get that. can someone me understand how to figure out how to figure this out? sorry if the question makes no sense, but it would really a lot if you could me understand! you so much if you can!
