In saloons,there is always a characteristic smell due to the ammonia-based chemicals used in hair dyes and other products. Assume the initial concentration of ammonia molecules to be $1000 \text{ molecules}/m^3$. Due to air ventilation,the number of molecules leaving in one minute is one-tenth of the molecules present at the start of that minute. How long will it take for the concentration of ammonia molecules to reach $1 \text{ molecule}/m^3$?

  • A
    $7$ minutes
  • B
    $70$ minutes
  • C
    $100$ minutes
  • D
    Very long time which cannot be calculated.
