Two gases l'and I are found in the atmosphere in only trace amounts because they decompose quickly. When exposed to ultraviolet light the half-life of 'is 90. min, while that of Y' is 1.00 h. Suppose an atmospheric scientist studying these decompositions fills a transparent 20.0 L flask with X and Y and exposes the flask to UV light. Initially, the partial pressure of X' is 75.0 % greater than the partial pressure of Y. As both gases decompose, will the partial pressure of X' ever fall below the partial pressure of Y?

A chemical is sprayed onto a lawn at a rate of 0.90 kg active ingredient per hectare. The chemical has a half-life of 30 days at 20C. A storm event occurs 15 days after application and causes 3.5% of the material present in the 25 hectare field to be lost (total losses). If average temperatures during the 15-day period were 17C, how much material (mass) was lost during the storm?
