- Orthoclase feldspar is a mineral that commonly occurs in certain intrusive igneous rocks that crystallize from melts deep within the crust of the earth. The chemical formula for orthoclase is KAISİ3O3 and its molecular weight is 278.4 g/mol. Most potassium in orthoclase is 39K (93.2581%). However, .0117% of naturally occuring potassium is 40K (which is unstable with a half- life of 1.28x109 yr). When orthoclase-bearing igneous rocks form, the ortho- clase crystallizes and its chemical constituents are locked in the crystal structure, no longer able to be freely exchanged with their environment. As this happens, the 40K in the orthoclase continues to decay according to 40K → 40Ar + e* + Ve The decay produces 40Ar, but the argon remains trapped in the rigid crystal structure. As time passes, argon accumulates in the crystal structure. Many years after the crystallization of the igneous rock, a crystal of ortho- clase from the rock may be extracted so that its argon content can be…arrow_forwardWhy is there a need to harness non-conventional sources of energy?

- More than eighty-five percent of all the energy used in the United States comes from coal, oil, and natural gas. Coal, oil and gas are not easily reproduced by nature because they are formed from organic remains of prehistoric plants and animals.

A Using smelting has lower cleanup costs than bioleaching. Using smelting is cheaper and generates more profit than bioleaching. © Bioleaching harvests the copper in a shorter time period than smelting. ℗ Bioleaching is more expensive at first but the returns are much higher than smelting.
