Context and question: Another action in 1917 that is of note was the armistice signed between Russia and the Central Powers at Brest-Litovsk. As a condition for peace, the treaty by the Central Powers conceded huge portions of the former Russian Empire to Imperial Germany and the Ottoman Empire, greatly upsetting nationalists and conservatives. The Bolsheviks made peace with the German Empire and the Central Powers, as they had promised the Russian people prior to the Revolution. Vladimir Lenin's decision has been attributed to his sponsorship by the foreign office of Wilhelm II, German Emperor, offered by the latter in hopes that with a revolution, Russia would withdraw from World War I.

When was the armistice signed between Russia and Central powers?

Context and question: Uranium-238 is the most stable isotope of uranium, with a half-life of about 4.468109 years, roughly the age of the Earth. Uranium-235 has a half-life of about 7.13108 years, and uranium-234 has a half-life of about 2.48105 years. For natural uranium, about 49% of its alpha rays are emitted by each of 238U atom, and also 49% by 234U (since the latter is formed from the former) and about 2.0% of them by the 235U. When the Earth was young, probably about one-fifth of its uranium was uranium-235, but the percentage of 234U was probably much lower than this.
What percentage of the gamma rays of natural uranium are emitted by 234U?
Answer:
unanswerable
