A) the average global temp. Would decrease
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. In this case, the halflife of the radioactive isotope is 5000 years.
Initially the mass is 100 %; thus the mass that will be left will be given by;
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n where n is the number of half lives;
n = 10000/5000 = 2
New mass = 100% ×(1/2)^2
= 100 % × 1/4
= 25%
Therefore; the mass left after 10000 years is 25% or 1/4 of the original mass.
Answer:

Explanation:
In this problem, the temperature stays constant. The volume and pressure change, so we use Boyle's Law. This states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume. The formula is:

Now we can substitute any known values into the formula.
Originally, the gas has a volume of 25.0 liters and a pressure of 2.05 atmospheres.

The volume is decreased to 14.5 liters, but the pressure is unknown.

Since we are solving for the new pressure, or P₂, we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 14.5 liters and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 14.5 L .


The units of liters cancel.



The original values of volume and pressure have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.
For the number we found, that is the hundredth place.
The 4 in the thousandth place (in bold above) tells us to leave the 3 in the hundredth place.

The new pressure is approximately <u>3.53 atmospheres.</u>
