<u>Given:</u>
Half life of radon t1/2 = 14 days
Initial # atoms of radon, N(0) = 4800
# atoms left after a certain time (Nt) = 75
<u>To determine:</u>
The decay time (t)
<u>Explanation:</u>
The radioactive decay is given by the following equation:-
N(t) = N(0)exp(-kt) -------(1)
where, the exponential decay constant k is given as:
k = 0.693/t1/2 ----(2)
Based on the given data:
k = 0.693/14 = 0.0495 day⁻¹
Substituting k in eq(1)
75 = 4800 exp(-0.0495t)
ln(75/4800) = (-0.0495t)lne
t = 84 days
1 week = 7 days
therefore, 84 days corresponds to: 84 days * 1 week/7 days = 12 weeks
Ans: It will take 12 weeks for the decay of radon from 4800 to 75 atoms
76.6 litres is the volume of the gas if pressure and temperature changes to STP.
Explanation:
Data given:
Volume of the gas V1 = 15.9 litres
pressure of the gas P1 = 589 kPa or 5.81 atm.
temperature T1 = 56.5 degrees or 329.3 K
Final pressure P2 = 101.3 kPa
Final temperature T2 = 273 K
At STP the pressure is 1 atm or 101.3 kPa and the temperature is 273 K. So from the question the final temperature and pressure is at STP.
from Gas Law:
= 
V2 = 
Putting the values in the above rearranged equation of Gas Law:
V2 = 
= 76.6 Litres
The volume of pure sulfur would be 62.8
The answer is C, since the black pig is heterozygous, it makes the majority black due to its dominant trait, but about 1 in 5 will be white
Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. On the other hand, surface waves propagate only at the interface between two different media, like the interface between Earth and atmosphere (i.e. the surface of the Earth).
Body waves are of two types: Primary waves (also called P-waves, or pressure waves) and Secondary waves (S-waves, or shear waves).
P-waves are compression waves. They can propagate in solid or liquid material.
S-waves are shear waves. They only propagate in solid material.
By studying the trajectories of S-waves, scientists could prove that the Earth had a liquid outer core.
