Assertion: Atomic mass of aluminium is 27 Reason: An atom of aluminium is 27 times heavier than 1 / 12th of the mass of the C –
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

i is the correct answer.

Explanation:

the RAM of aluminum is indeed 27. And since the RAM of substances are measured in terms of the C-12 isotope then R indeed explains why the RAM Al is 27.

If the detector is capturing 3.3×108 photons per second at this wavelength, what is the total energy of the photons detected in
Reil [10]

Answer:

The total energy of the photons detected in one hour is 7.04*10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

The energy carried by electromagnetic radiation is displaced by waves. This energy is not continuous, but is transmitted grouped into small "quanta" of energy called photons. The energy (E) carried by electromagnetic radiation can be measured in Joules (J). Frequency (ν or f) is the number of times a wave oscillates in one second and is measured in cycles / second or hertz (Hz). The frequency is directly proportional to the energy carried by a radiation, according to the equation: E = h.f, (where h is the Planck constant = 6.63 · 10⁻³⁴ J / s).

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. it is expressed in units of length (m). In light and other electromagnetic waves that propagate at the speed of light (c), the frequency would be equal to the speed of light (≈ 3 × 10⁸ m / s) between the wavelength :

f=\frac{speed of light}{wavelength}

So:

E=\frac{h*speed of light}{wavelength}

In this case, the wavelength is 3.35mm=3.35*10⁻³m and the energy per photon is:

E=\frac{6.63*10^{-34}*3*10^{8}}{3.35*10^{-3} }

E=5.93*10⁻²³ \frac{J}{proton}

The detector is capturing  3.3*10⁸ photons per second. So, in 1 hour:

E=5.93*10^{-23} \frac{J}{proton} *3.3*10^{8} \frac{proton}{s} *\frac{60}{1} \frac{s}{minute} *\frac{60}{1} \frac{minute}{hr}

E=7.04*10⁻¹¹ \frac{J}{hr}

The total energy of the photons detected in one hour is 7.04*10⁻¹¹ J

A mixture of three noble gases has a total pressure of 1.25 atm. The individual pressures exerted by neon and argon are 0.68
FinnZ [79.3K]

First of all, as you seen the gases are noble which means that will not react with each other and in this case each gas create individual pressure.  

P_{T}= total pressure  

P_{Ne} = pressure of neon  

P_{Ar} = pressure of argon  

P_{He} = pressure of helium {which is required}

P_{T} = P_{Ne} + P_{Ar} + P_{He}    

1.25 = 0.68 + 0.35 +  P_{He}

P_{He}   = 1.25  - [0.68 + 0.35] = 0.22 atm

Why is air considered a mixture not a compound?
blondinia [14]
<span>The best reason I can think of for why we believe that air is a mixture is that freezing air slowly yields different liquids at different temperatures. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen. They also freeze at different temperatures. If air were only 1 compound, then air in its entirety would have a single boiling point and a single freezing point. </span>

Which of the following is true of the energy levels of electrons in shells?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Option C is the correct. Valence electrons have a higher energy level than those in other filled shells

Explanation:

Electrons must lose energy to move from the first to the second shell. FALSE

The electrons always win energy to move from the first to the second shell.

All the electrons in an atom have similar energy levels FALSE.

They are not neccesary similar. In hydrogen these are the level energy -13.6 eV , -3.4 eV , -1.51 eV , -85 eV  and -54 eV

Electrons do not have potential energy, just kinetic energy. FALSE

They have both.

Valencia electrons are the last electrons in the last layer. They have as much energy as possible and are responsible for forming bonds with other elements.
