Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.

The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.

What is the molarity of a solution of 14.0 g NH4Br in enough H2O to make 150 mL of solution?

kiruha [24]

The molarity of a solution equals to the mole number of the solute/the volume of the solution. For NH4Br, we know that the mole mass is 98. So the molarity is (14/98) mol /0.15 L=0.95 mol/L.

What is the relationship between the number of gas particles and volume ?

Answer:

V ∝ n

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that pressure and temperature are constant.

If you try to force more molecules of air into a balloon, the balloon will expand.

This is an example of <em>Avogadro's Law</em>: the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles (particles).
