Answer:
The correct answer is;
5. They were packaged at a higher pressure on the ground, thus causing the gas inside the packages to expand in the sky where the jet is at a lower pressure.
Explanation:
According to Boyle's law, the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to it volume at constant temperature
P₁·V₁ = P₂·V₂
At the factories, the peanuts are packaged at atmospheric conditions whereby P₁ = 1 atm, however, the pressure of the air in the atmosphere decreases with altitude as such the pressure in the airplane jet is about a fraction of hat on the ground by about a factor of 0.7.
Therefore P₂ = 0.7 atm and we have
V₂ = P₁·V₁/P₂ = 1 atm×V₁/0.7 atm = 1.43·V₁
The volume increases at high altitudes
After 100years, sample is 250g
After 200 years, sample is 125g
After 300years, sample is 62.5 g
1/15 is the correct answer I think
