Hey there!

A half-life means after a certain amount of time, half of that substance will be gone/changed after that time.

There are two half lives in 20 years because 20 ÷ 10 = 2.

So, we divide the 100g sample in half 2 times.

100 ÷ 2 = 50

50 ÷ 2 = 25

There will be 25g of the radioactive sample remaining after two half lives.

Hope this helps!

icang [17]

Answer:

The temperature of the air at this given elevation will be 53.32425°C

Explanation:

We can calculate the final temperature through the combined gas law. Therefore we will need to know 1 ) The initial volume, 2 ) The initial temperature, 3 ) Initial Pressure, 4 ) Final Volume, 5 ) Final Pressure.

Initial Volume = 1.2 L ; Initial Temperature = 25°C = 298.15 K ; Initial pressure = 1.0 atm  ; Final Volume = 1.8 L ; Final pressure = 0.73 atm  

We have all the information we need. Now let us substitute into the following formula, and solve for the final temperature ( T_2 ),

P_1V_1 / T_1 = P_2V_2 / T_2,

T_2 = P_2V_2T_1 / P_1V_1,

T_2 = 0.73 atm * 1.8 L * 298.15 K / 1 atm * 1.2 L = ( 0.73 * 1.8 * 298.15 / 1 * 1.2 ) K = 326.47425 K,

T_2 = 326.47425 K = 53.32425 C
