The number of years required for 1/4 cobalt-60 to remain after decay is calculated as follows

after one half life 1/2 of the original mass isotope remains

after another half life 1/4 mass of original mass remains

therefore if one half life is 5.3 years then the years required

= 2 x 5.3years = 10.6 years

A sample of gas in a 14.6 L flexible container is at 25.0oC and 1.00atm. What is the volume of the sample when heated to 220.0oC

inn [45]

Answer: 24.1 L

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$
