Calculate the temperature of 6 moles of an ideal gas at a pressure of 7.6 x 106Nm-2 with a volume of 10-3m3.
[R = 8.3jmol-1K-1]

A.

201oC

B.

126oC

C.

153oC

D.

185oC

Correct answer is C

T = \(\frac{PV}{nR}\) = \(\frac{7.6 x 10^6 x 10^-3}{6 x 8.3}\)

= 153oC

543.

A radioactive isotope has a decay constant of 10-6s-1.
Calculate its half - life?

A.

5.93 x 106s

B.

6.93 x 105s

C.

6.93 x 109s

D.

5.93 x 107s

Correct answer is B

t1/2 = \(\frac{0.693}{\gamma}\) = \(\frac{0.693}{10^-6}\)

= 6.93 x 105
