<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • The correct answer is a.
  • The ratio of their masses is always the same

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

  • Dalton law was based on law of conservation of masses and law of conservation definite proportional. So here , it is cleared that the ratio of their masses should be always same.

According to John Dalton’s observations, when elements combine in a compound,\boxed{{\text{a}}{\text{. the ratio of their masses is always the same}}}.

Further explanation:

An element has an atom as the smallest possible particle that it can have. It is also known as the building unit of matter. Atom has a central part called the atomic nucleus.

Postulates of John Dalton’s atomic theory:

1. There are indivisible particles inside every matter. Such particles are called atoms.

2. Atoms are the particles that can neither be produced nor be destroyed.

3. There occurs similarity in the shape and size of atoms of the same element but they are different from the elements of the other elements.

4. Atom is the smallest entity that is involved in the chemical reaction.

5. Atoms of different elements can form compounds after combination with each other. The ratio of combining elements remains fixed, simple and is a whole number.

6. The atoms of the same element have the tendency to form two or more compounds by combining in more than one ratio.

Advantages:

1. The laws of chemical combination are completely explained by this theory.

2. This theory can distinguish between atoms and molecules.

Failures:

1. This theory cannot explain the subdivision of atoms into subatomic particles.

2. Isotopes were nowhere discussed in this theory. These are the atoms of the same element having same atomic number but different mass numbers. Moreover, it did not explain the existence of isobars (atoms of different elements with the same mass number but different atomic numbers).

3. This theory failed to explain the presence of allotropes.

4. The complex organic molecules were not included in this theory.

According to Dalton’s atomic theory, elements combine with each other to form compounds in the same ratio of their masses. Therefore option a is correct.

Chamber 1 and Chamber 2 have equal volumes of 1.0L and are assumed to be rigid containers. The chambers are connected by a valve
vitfil [10]
1) At tne same temperature and with the same volume, initially the chamber 1 has the dobule of moles of gas  than the chamber 2, so the pressure in the chamber 1 ( call it p1) is the double of the pressure of chamber 2 (p2)

=> p1 = 2 p2

Which is easy to demonstrate using ideal gas equation:

p1 = nRT/V = 2.0 mol * RT / 1 liter

p2 = nRT/V = 1.0 mol * RT / 1 liter

=> p1 / p2 = 2.0 / 1.0 = 2 => p1 = 2 * p2

2) Assuming that when the valve is opened there is not change in temperature, there will be 1.00 + 2.00 moles of gas in a volumen of 2 liters.

So, the pressure in both chambers (which form one same vessel) is:

p = nRT/V = 3.0 mol * RT / 2liter

which compared to the initial pressure in chamber 1, p1, is:

p / p1 = (3/2) / 2 = 3/4 => p = (3/4)p1

So, the answer is that the pressure in the chamber 1 decreases to 3/4 its original pressure.

You can also see how the pressure in chamber 2 changes:

p / p2 = (3/2) / 1 = 3/2, which means that the pressure in the chamber 2 decreases to 3/2 of its original pressure.

determine the frequency and wavelength (in nm) of the light emitted when the e- fell from n=4 and n=2
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ Hz

λ = 4.87×10² nm

Explanation:

In case of hydrogen atom energy associated with nth state is,

En =  -13.6/n²

For n = 2

E₂ = -13.6 / 2²

E₂ = -13.6/4

E₂ = -3.4 ev

Kinetic energy of electron = -E₂ = 3.4 ev

For n = 4

E₄ = -13.6 / 4²

E₄ = -13.6/16

E₄ = -0.85 ev

Kinetic energy of electron = -E₄ = 0.85 ev

Wavelength of radiation emitted:

E = hc/λ = E₄ - E₂

hc/λ = E₄ - E₂

by putting values,

6.63×10⁻³⁴Js × 3×10⁸m/s / λ = -0.85ev   - (-3.4ev )

6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s / λ = 2.55 ev

λ = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s  /2.55ev

λ = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s  /2.55× 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 19.89 ×10⁻²⁶ Jm / 2.55× 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 19.89 ×10⁻²⁶ Jm / 4.08×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 4.87×10⁻⁷ m

m to nm:

4.87×10⁻⁷ m ×10⁹nm/1 m

4.87×10² nm

Frequency:

Frequency = speed of electron / wavelength

by putting values,

Frequency = 3×10⁸m/s /4.87×10⁻⁷ m

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

s⁻¹ = Hz

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ Hz

Which statement defines dynamic equilibrium? (5 points)
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1. A state of balance in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.

Explanation:

A dynamic equilibrium is like a cycle, the reactants change to products, but the products also change to reactants keeping the amount of each constant.

2. A state of balance in which the forward reaction stops but reverse reaction continues.

In this statement there isnt a equilibrium. The products will change to reactants until the reaction stops.

3. A state of balance in which the forward reaction continues but reverse reaction stops.

Here the reactants will change to products until the reaction stops.

4. A state of balance in which the forward and reverse reactions stop.

In this case the reaction has stopped.

Which will contain the greater number of moles of potassium ion: 30.0 ml of 0.15 m k2cro4 or 25.0 ml of 0.080 m k3po4?
Dahasolnce [82]
<span>30.0 ml of 0.15 m K2CrO4 solution will have more potassium ions. Let's see the relative number of potassium ions for each solution. Since all the measurements are the same, the real difference is the K2CrO4 will only have 2 potassium ions per molecule while the K3PO4 solution will have 3 potassium ions per molecule. K2CrO4 solution 30.0 * 0.15 * 2 = 9 K3PO4 solution 25.0 * 0.080 * 3 = 6 Since 9 is greater than 6, the K2CrO4 solution will have more potassium ions.</span>
