A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 atm and a volume of 1.73 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the sample descended, the water pressure compressed the balloon and reduced its volume. When the pressure had increased to 70.0 atm, what was the volume of the sample

Volume is 0.0247L

Explanation:

This question involves the use of Boyle's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's pressure provided that temperature remains constant.

Mathematically,

v = k/p

K = VP

P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 = =PnVn

V = volume

p = pressure

Data;

P1 =1.0atm

V1 = 1.73L

P2 = 70atm

V2 = ?

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1 / P2

V2 = (1.0×1.73)/70

V2 = 0.0247L

The volume of the sample is 0.0247L

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
