Answer:

The pressure inside the container will be 3.3 atmospheres

Explanation:

The relationship between the temperature and pressure of a gas occupying a fixed volume is given by Gay-Lussac's law which states that the pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its temperature on the kelvin scale when the volume is kept constant.

Mathematically, it expressed as: P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

where P₁ is initial pressure, T₁ is initial temperature, P₂ is final pressure, T₂ is final temperature.

The above expression shows that the ratio of the pressure and temperature is always constant.

In the given question, the gas in the can attains the temperature of its environment.

P₁ = 3 atm,

T₁ = 25 °C = (273.15 + 25) K = 298.15 K,

P₂ = ?

T₂ = (55 °C = 273.15 + 55) K = 328.15 K

Substituting the values in the equation

3/298.15 = P₂/328.15

P₂ = 3 × 328.15/298.15

P₂ = 3.3 atm

Therefore, the pressure inside the container will be 3.3 atmospheres

Extend your thinking: The slow decay of radioactive materials can be used to find the age of rocks, fossils, and archaeological

lisov135 [29]

The age in years of the Egyptian papyrus, the Aboriginal charcoal, the Mayan headdress, and the Neanderthal skull are 4000 years, 13106.5years , 2040 years, and 30353 years respectively.

<h3>What is the half-life of a radioactive material?</h3>

The half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken for half the atoms present in the material to decay or disintegrate.

The half-life, $t_\frac{1}{2}$ , the age, t, and amount remaining, $A_{r}$ , of a radioactive material are related by the formula below:

$t = \frac{t_\frac{1}{2}*A_{r}}{-ln2}$

Half-life of carbon-14 = 6000 years

For the Egyptian papyrus with 63% of its original carbon-14 atoms: $t = \frac{6000*0.63}{-0.63} = 4000\:years$

For the Aboriginal charcoal with 22% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.22}{-0.63} = 13106.5\:years$

For the Mayan headdress with 79% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.79}{-0.63} = 2040\:years$

Neanderthal skull with 3% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.03}{-0.63} = 30353\:years$

Therefore, the age in years of the Egyptian papyrus, the Aboriginal charcoal, the Mayan headdress, and the Neanderthal skull are 4000 years, 13106.5years , 2040 years, and 30353 years respectively.
