Answer:
Explanation:
Let the number of half lives be x
<u>Solve this equation to find the value of x:</u>
- 125*(1/2)ˣ = 3.90625
- (0.5)ˣ = 3.90625 / 125
- (0.5)ˣ = 0.03125
- log (0.5)ˣ = log 0.03125
- x = log 0.03125 / log 0.5
- x = 5
Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles. Hope this helped!
According to Boyle's law, volume is inversely proportional to pressure. thus P=k/V
Therefore PV=k
P1V1=P2V2
In the question above,
P1=3.67atm
P2=1.94atm
V1=2.22L
V2=?
Thus substituting for the values in the gas equation;
3.67atm*2.22L=1.94atm*V2
V2=3.67atm*2.22L/1.94atm
=4.21L
