Answer:

c. Einstein

Explanation:

Einstein is most credited with the idea that a quantum of light (photon) can act as a particle. He proposed that light behave as photons or quantum of energy and used it to explain the Photoelectric Effect for which he received the Noble prize. Prior to that light was believed to behave as a wave or electromagnetic radiation only. However, photoelectric effect showed that light has particle nature as well.

A gas cylinder contains 2.5 atm of ne, 0.8 atm of co2, and 3.4 atm of ar. what is the total pressure in the cylinder? g

Tatiana [17]

To answer this problem, we must make assumptions for simplicity. The first assumption is that, the system only consist of these 3 gases. The second assumption is that, these gases behave ideally. Thus, from Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure, the total pressure is simply the sum of their individual partial pressures.

Total pressure = 2.5 + 0.8 + 3.4 = 6.7 atm

Bromine has two isotopes 79Br and 81Br, whose masses (78.9183 and 80.9163 amu) and abundances (50.69% and 49.31%, respectively)

Reika [66]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 79.9034 amu

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

$Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})$

Given that:

For first isotope:

% = 50.69 %

Mass = 78.9183 amu

For second isotope:

% = 49.31 %

Mass = 80.9163 amu

Thus,

$Average\ atomic\ mass=\frac{50.69}{100}\times {78.9183}+\frac{49.31}{100}\times {80.9163}\ amu$

$Average\ atomic\ mass=40.0036+39.8998\ amu$

Average atomic mass = 79.9034 amu
