Answer:

After 5th half life the remaining mass is 31.25 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Total mass of carbon-14 = 1000 g

Mass remain after 5 half lives = ?

Solution:

At time zero = 1000 g

At first half life = 1000 g/2 = 500 g

At second half life =  500 g/ 2= 250 g

At third half life = 250 g/ 2 = 125 g

At 4th half life = 125 g/2 = 62.5 g

At 5th half life = 62.5 g/2 = 31.25 g

Thus after 5th half life the remaining mass is 31.25 g.

Llana [10]

Answer: Option d. pressure increase by a factor of 3

Explanation:

P1 = P

T1 = 300k

T2 = 900K

P2 =?

Volume is constant.

P1/T1 = P2/T2

P/300 = P2/900

P2 x 300 = P x 900

P2 = (P x 900)/300

P2 = 3P

The pressure increased by a factor of 3
