The half life of a radioactive element is the time needed to the element to decay and reach the half amount of the initial amount. Here we have a radioisotope element which decays its half from 10,000 to 5,000 in two days. Therefore, its half life is 2 days.

Why is the Pacific Northwest receives so much precipitation?
lyudmila [28]

The Cascades rain shadow can be described as such: ocean-influenced moist air masses are forced to rise when they meet the tall moun- tains. The rising air cools, condenses, and the moisture falls as precipitation. On the leeward (dry) side of the mountain, the now dry air warms and sinks.

The CO2 that builds up in the air of a submerged submarine can be removed by reacting it with sodium peroxide. 2 Na2O2 (s) + 2 C
grandymaker [24]

Answer: The sodium peroxide needed per sailor in a 24 hr period is 674 grams.

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 1.02 atm

V = Volume of gas = 150.0 ml = 0.15 L

n = number of moles  of carbon dioxide = ?

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature =20^0C=(20+273)K=293K

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{1.02atm\times 0.15L}{0.0821 L atm/K mol\times 293K}=0.006moles

2Na_2O_2(s)+2CO_2(g)\rightarrow 2Na_2CO_3(s)+O_2(g)

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of carbon dioxide require = 2 moles of sodium peroxide

Thus 0.006 moles carbon dioxide require= \frac{2}{2}\times 0.006=0.006 moles of  sodium peroxide

Mass of  sodium peroxide needed for 24 hour=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.006mol\times 78g/mol\times 24\times 60=674g

Thus sodium peroxide needed per sailor in a 24 hr period is 674 grams.
