Explain why it is important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay aka radioactivity will remain constant over time?

Answer and Explanation:

It's very important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay will remain constant over time to make scientists' lives easier when calculating the ages of fossils, compounds, etc.

If the rate changes, it would be extremely challenging for people to figure out the relative ages of rock strata, fossils, or other substances with radioactive elements in them. This is a fundamental assumption in order to be able to use radioactive dating.

Hope this helps!

A balloon is filled with neon gas. What will happen to the balloon after it is put into a chamber whose pressure is more than th
Tpy6a [65]
According to Boyle's Law,
                                        " the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure applied on it'.

Mathmatically,
                                    V ∞ 1 / P
Or,
                                    V = k / P
Explanation:
                   The balloon filled with Neon gas outside the chamber will have greater volume than in the chamber because the pressure in the chamber is high as compared to outside. So, the outside force brings the molecule of gas to get closer to each other.
