Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The system thatbest represents thegiven sample of radon gas after 10 days is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Radioactivity is defined as the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus tends to lose energy by emitting radiation. The formula for the determination of radioactivity is as follows:
where
Radon has a half-life of 3.8 days.
Half-life of a compound is the time in which the quantity of the substance reduces by half. Half-life for the first-order reaction is determined by the following equation:

- SHOW SOLUTION Some Chem 16.1 students were tasked to perform the ideal gas experiment with some modifications. Instead of magnesium ribbon, the students were to use 0.029 g of aluminum foil. They prepared the eudiometer by adding 6M HCl and filling it with water to the brim. Once the setup was complete, they performed the experiment. Note that the aluminum was completely consumed in the reaction. From the experiment, it was found that the external pressure was 1.05 atm at 30.0 °C, and the volume of the air inside the eudiometer was 33.5 mL. The water level inside the eudiometer is 4.15 cm below the surface of the water level outside. Given these measurements and the following constants, answer the proceeding questions.● At 30.0°C, Pvapor = 31.8 mmHg● R = 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K = 62.36 L-torr/mol-K● MWAl = 26.98 g/mol D.
