The radioisotope radon-222 has a half-life of 3.8 days. How much of a 73.9-g sample of radon- (3 222 would be left after approximately 23 days?​

1.115 g

Explanation:

Applying,

R = R'................... Equation 1

Where R = original sample of radon-222, R' = sample of radon-222 left after decay, n = Total time, t = half-life.

make R' the subject of the equation

R' = R/()............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: R = 73.9 g, n = 23 days, t = 3.8 days.

Substitute these values into equation 2

R' = 73.9/()

R' = 73.9/

R' = 1.115 g

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
