The number of years that must be invested at a rate of 7 % to earn$ 303.52 in interest is

8 years

calculation

by use of the formula A = P (1+ rt)
where : A is the final amount = 542 + 303.52 =$ 845.52

P is the principal money to be invested = $ 542

r= rate= 7/100=0.07

t= time required

=$ 845.52=$ 542( 1+ 0.07 t)

open the bracket
= $845.53= $542 + $37.94 t

like terms together

=$ 845.53 -$542 = $37.94 t

=$303.52 =$37.94 t

divide both side by $37.94

= $303.52/ $ 37.94 = $37.94t/$37.94

t= 8 years

Two perfumes are released at the same time. If one is standing 7.5 m from the point of release. Perfume A (molar mass 275 g/mol)

natta225 [31]

According to Graham's Law of Diffusion," Diffusion of Gas is inversely proportional to square root of its Molecular Mass or Density".

rᵇ/rᵃ =   $\sqrt{da/db}$
Or,
  rᵇ/rᵃ =   $\sqrt{Ma/Mb}$ ----- (1)
As,
Ma = 275 g/mol

Mb = 205 g/mol

Putting Values in eq.1,

rᵇ/rᵃ =   $\sqrt{275/205}$

rᵇ/rᵃ = 1.15

Result:
Perfume B will diffuse 1.15 times faster than Perfume A. Hence, Perfume B will be first smelled by the person.
