Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Question 1: Turn 25 coins tails up. You now have 50% parent material and 50% daughter material. What is the half life of this substance? (20 Points)

Answer:

Based upon the given information, we can assume that the half life of this coin material is 5 years.

Question 2: Imagine that another half life has gone by. Remember that ONLY the parent material can change to the daughter material. Turn over your pennies to represent the passing of another half life. How much total parent material and how much total daughter material do you now have? You may express your answer in number of pennies or in %. (Note: Since you cannot turn over half a penny, round the actual number of pennies you would turn over up.) (20 points)

Answer:

Based upon the given information from Question 2 and Question 3, we can assume that 13 additional coins would be turned over. We started with 50, than flipped 50% of them over, and now another 50% over. We have 12 coins left.

Question 3: How many half lives will pass before you have only 3 pennies that are parent material and 47 pennies that are daughter material? (20 Points)

Answer:

Based upon the given information from all the questions, and based upon our answers we can assume this:

1st half-life: 50 turned to 25 coins

2nd half-life: 25 turned to 12 coins

3rd half-life: 12 turns to 6 coins

4th half-life: 6 turns to 3 coins

So, after 4 half-lives (or after 20 years) we would have 3 coins left that have parent material.

chemistry A basketball is inflated to a pressure of 1.10 atm in a 28.0°C garage. What is the pressure of the basketball outside

butalik [34]

Answer : The final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm

Explanation :

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

$P\propto T$

or,

$\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure = 1.10 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $28.0^oC=273+28.0=301.0K$

$T_2$ = initial temperature = $-2.00^oC=273+(-2.00)=271.0K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.10atm}{P_2}=\frac{301.0K}{271.0K}$

$P_2=0.990atm$

Thus, the final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm

What happens to gas particles when they are compressed?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

3)Some gas molecules move further apart and some move closer together.

Explanation:

because When more gas particles enter a container, there is less space for the particles to spread out, and they become compressed. The particles exert more force on the interior volume of the container. This force is called pressure. There are several units used to express pressure.
