The two elements that produce background radiation on earth are Radon and Uranium. Airborne radon can decay on its own. Radon undergoes alpha decay to produce Polonium. Uranium naturally undergoes alpha decay to produce Thorium.
Answer:
537.68 torr.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n and V are constant, and have different values of P and T:
<em>(P₁T₂) = (P₂T₁).</em>
P₁ = 485 torr, T₁ = 40°C + 273 = 313 K,
P₂ = ??? torr, T₂ = 74°C + 273 = 347 K.
∴ P₂ = (P₁T₂)/(P₁) = (485 torr)(347 K)/(313 K) = 537.68 torr.
