The number of atoms that remains after 3 half-lives given that it was originally 300000 atoms is 37500 atoms

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 300000 atoms
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 3
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining</h3>

The amount remaining after 3 half-lives can be obtained as illustrated below:

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 300000 / 2³

N = 300000 / 8

N = 37500 atoms

A 7.74 L balloon is filled with water at 3.88 atm. If the balloon is squeezed into a 0.23 L beaker and does NOT burst, what is t
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

131 atm

Explanation:

To find the new pressure, you need to use Boyle's Law:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

In this equation, "P₁" and "V₁" represent the initial pressure and volume. "P₂" and "V₂" represent the final pressure and volume. You can find the new pressure (P₂) by plugging the given values into equation and simplifying.

P₁ = 3.88 atm                       P₂ = ? atm

V₁ = 7.74 L                           V₂ = 0.23 L

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂                                                      <----- Boyle's Law

(3.88 atm)(7.74 L) = P₂(0.23 L)                       <----- Insert values

30.0312 = P₂(0.23 L)                                      <----- Simplify left side

131 = P₂                                                          <----- Divide both sides by 0.23
