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

Ammonium Iodide dissociates reversibly to ammonia and hydrogen iodide:
NeTakaya

Answer:

The partial pressure of ammonia at equilibrium when a sufficient quantity of ammonium iodide is heated to 400°C Is 0.103 atm.

The correct option is A.

Explanation;

NH4I(s) ⇋ NH3(g) + HI(g)Kp = 0.215 at 400°C

NH4I(s)= 0.215

NH3(g)=0.103

HI(g)Kp=0.112

Therefore = 0.103 +0.112= 0.215

Therefore the partial pressure of ammonia at equilibrium is 0.103 atm

Explain the role light plays on the rate<br> of photosynthesis.
Luda [366]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis occurs when green plants use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into carbohydrates. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, a photosynthetic pigment of the plant, while air containing carbon dioxide and oxygen enters the plant through the leaf stomata.
