Chapter 17, Problem 97E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The volume of radon gas produced is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: Half-life of any substance is the time in which substance reduces to half of its initial amount.

The symbol of radium is $\text{Ra}$.

The ideal gas equation is as:

$PV=nRT$

Here $P$ is pressure, $V$ is volume, $n$ is number of moles, $T$ is temperature and $R$ is ideal gas constant.

The ideal gas constant $R$ is equal to $0.0821\frac{\text{L }\text{.atm}}{\text{K }\text{.mol}}$.
