A certain box contains 200 particles of an ideal gas. how many times more likely is it to find the particles evenly split betwee

n the left and right halves of the box, than to find 160 particles on one side and 40 on the other?

 Each particle has two possibilities: either it is on the left hand side or it is on the right hand side.  

The probability of having them equally split is  

P(100,100) = 200C100 / 2^200  

where 200C100 is the binomial coefficient.  

For the uneven distribution we have  

P= 2 * 200C160 / 2^200  

where the factor 2 comes in because we could have 160/40 or 40/160 as a division.  

So the ratio of probabilities is  

200C100 /(2 * 200C160 )  

= 2.2 * 10^16

Hope this helps!

If we start with 1.000 g of strontium-90, 0.805 g will remain after 9.00 yr. This means that the of strontium-90 is ________ yr.
lesantik [10]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.

If we start with 1.000 g of strontium-90, 0.805 g will remain after 9.00 yr. This means that the half-life of strontium-90 is ________ yr.

a. 28.8 b. 30.9 c. 35.4 d. 32.2

Answer :  The half-life of strontium-90 is 28.8 years.

Explanation :

This is a type of radioactive decay and all radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.

First we have to calculate the rate constant.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by :

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process  = 9.00 year

a = initial amount or moles of the reactant  = 1.000 g

a - x = amount or moles left after decay process  = 0.805 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{2.303}{9.00}\log\frac{1.00}{0.805}

k=0.0241\text{ year}^{-1}

To calculate the half-life, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

0.0241\text{ year}^{-1}=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

t_{1/2}=28.8\text{ years}

Therefore, the half-life of strontium-90 is 28.8 years.

The experiment where the factors being tested are not applied. It allows scientists to set a baseline to compare the experimenta
olasank [31]

Answer:

An experiment is a research method performed within a completely controlled environment that uses groups of individuals ( subjects), one of which the factors being tested are not spplied on, an independent factor of the hypothesys ( to be tested ), for example the resilience of a group of teenagers) and a dependant factor that is applied to check how it varyes depending on the tested factor ( for example, the most challanging experience of their generation)
