Question

Radon (Rn) is the heaviest and the only radioactive member of Group 8A(18), the noble gases. It is a product of the disintegration of heavier radioactive nuclei found in minute concentrations in many common rocks used for building and construction. In recent years, health concerns about the cancers caused from inhaled residential radon have grown. If 1.00 × 1015 atoms of radium (Ra) produce an average of 1.373 × 104 atoms of Rn per second, how many liters of Rn, measured at STP, are produced per day by 8.26 g of Ra?

Answer 1

Answer:

$V=9.89x10^{-7}\frac{L}{day}$

Explanation:

Hello,

On the attached document, you will find the procedure regarding the required volume. At first, it is necessary to know atoms by day produced, by using a rule of three. Subsequently, we compute the moles per day and finally the volume via the ideal gas equation at STP.

Best regards.
