Answer:
Thus the time taken is calculated as 387.69 years
Solution:
As per the question:
Half life of 
= 28.5 yrs
Now,
To calculate the time, t in which the 99.99% of the release in the reactor:
By using the formula:
where
N = No. of nuclei left after time t
= No. of nuclei initially started with
(Since, 100% - 99.99% = 0.01%)
Thus
Taking log on both the sides:
t = 387.69 yrs

Answer:
the volume is 0.253 cm³
Explanation:
The pressure underwater is related with the pressure in the surface through Pascal's law:
P(h)= Po + ρgh
where Po= pressure at a depth h under the surface (we assume = 1atm=101325 Pa) , ρ= density of water ,g= gravity , h= depth at h meters)
replacing values
P(h)= Po + ρgh = 101325 Pa + 1025 Kg/m³ * 9.8 m/s² * 20 m = 302225 Pa
Also assuming that the bubble behaves as an ideal gas
PV=nRT
where
P= absolute pressure, V= gas volume ,n= number of moles of gas, R= ideal gas constant , T= absolute temperature
therefore assuming that the mass of the bubble is the same ( it does not absorb other bubbles, divides into smaller ones or allow significant diffusion over its surface) we have
at the surface) PoVo=nRTo
at the depth h) PV=nRT
dividing both equations
(P/Po)(V/Vo)=(T/To)
or
V=Vo*(Po/P)(T/To) = 0.80 cm³ * (101325 Pa/302225 Pa)*(277K/293K) = 0.253 cm³
V = 0.253 cm³
