Problem

- A flask of volume 300.0×10−6300.0 \times 10^{-6} m3 contains air at a pressure of 5.00×1055.00 \times 10^5 Pa and a temperature of 27.0∘C27.0^\circ\text{C} . The flask loses molecules at a rate of 3.00×10193.00 \times 10^{19} per second. Estimate how long it takes for the pressure in the flask to fall to half its original value. (Assume that the temperature of the air remains constant during this time.)
