Answer:

A

Explanation:

Radon is an alpha emitter. It emits alpha particles giving off gamma ray. It is a radioactive byproduct of radium-222.

Radon also penetrates the skin. This is because radon is a gas and chemically unreactive with most materials, it moves easily through very small spaces, such as those between particles of soil and rock, to the soil surface

Option B is wrong. It is produced during radioactive decay of radium and not uranium.

Option C is wrong. Radon is not a metallic element.

Option D is wrong also. It is not produced from photochemical smog

Option E is wrong. This is an extension of option B. Uranium is generally used in nuclear plant operations and not radium

a gas container in a thick walled balloon. when the pressure changes from __kPa to 114kpa, the volume changes from 0.654L to 1.3
Hunter-Best [27]

<span>To solve this we assume that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At number of moles the value of PV/T is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:</span>

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1 = P2V2T1/T2V1

P1 = (114)(1.32)(596)/(715)(.654)

P1 = 191.80 kPa
