Answer:

77.248 L

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done on the gas mixture is given as,

W = PΔV.................. Equation 1

Where W = work done, P = pressure of the the gas, ΔV = Change in volume of the gas.

make ΔV the subject of the equation

ΔV = W/P..................... Equation 2

Given: W = 28.2 J, P = 0.37 atm = (0.37×101325) N/m² = 37490.25 N/m²

Substitute into equation 2

ΔV = 28.2/37490.25

ΔV = 0.000752 m³

ΔV = 0.752 L

But,

ΔV = V₂-V₁................. Equation 3

Where V₂ = Final volume of the helium gas, V₁ = Initial volume of the helium gas

make V₁ the subject of the equation

V₁ = V₂-ΔV................ Equation 4

Given: V₂ = 78 L.

Substitute into equation 4

V₁ = 78-0.752

V₁ = 77.248 L

Answer:

The initial volume of the helium gas balloon was 1.78 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the balloon is expanded to 78.0 L

The pressure is held constant at 0.37 atm

If the work done on the gas mixture was 28.2 J

Step 2: Calculate the initial volume

W = pΔV

⇒W = the work done on the gas = 28.2 J

⇒p = the pressure = 0.37 atm

⇒ΔV = the change in volume = V2 - V1 = 78.0 L - V1

W = 0.37 * ( 78.0 - V1)

28.2 J = 0.37 * ( 78.0 - V1)

28.2 J = 28.86 - 0.37V1

-0.66 = -0.37V1

V1 = 1.78 L

The initial volume of the helium gas balloon was 1.78 L

A radioactive element reduces to 5.00% of its initial mass in
Stolb23 [73]

The half-life in months of a radioactive element that reduce to 5.00% of its initial mass in 500.0 years is approximately 1389 months

To solve this question, we'll begin by calculating the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

Amount remaining (N) = 5%

Original amount (N₀) = 100%

<h3>Number of half-lives (n) =?</h3>

N₀ × 2ⁿ = N  

5 × 2ⁿ = 100

2ⁿ = 100/5

2ⁿ = 20

Take the log of both side

Log 2ⁿ = log 20

nlog 2 = log 20

Divide both side by log 2

n = log 20 / log 2

<h3>n = 4.32</h3>

Thus, 4.32 half-lives gas elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the half-life of the element. This can be obtained as follow.

Number of half-lives (n) = 4.32

Time (t) = 500 years

<h3>Half-life (t½) =? </h3>

t½ = t / n

t½ = 500 / 4.32

t½ = 115.74 years

Multiply by 12 to express in months

t½ = 115.74 × 12

<h3>t½ ≈ 1389 months </h3>

Therefore, the half-life of the radioactive element in months is approximately 1389 months
