Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.26P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
We have to give the reasons why natural nuclear reactors were able to form 2 billion years ago
Concept Introduction:
The notion that nuclear reactors are only man made is a false statement.Natural nuclear reactors existed before the advent of humans around 2 billion years ago. There are several reasons for which these natural nuclear reactors could form. There are indications that the conditions necessary for a natural nuclear reactor to develop could have been present in ancient uranium deposits which are highly energetic fissionable materials.
To explain:
What were the reasons why natural nuclear reactors were able to form 2 billion years ago?

In the Thermo Fisher application note about wine analysis (Lesson 3), the following
chromatogram was collected of nine components of wine. If peak 3 has a retention time of
3.15 minutes and a peak width of 0.070 minutes, and peak 4 has a retention time of 3.24
minutes and a peak width of 0.075 minutes, what is the resolution factor between the two
peaks? [Hint: it will help to review Lesson 2 for this question.]
