Use the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
so, T = PV / nR
n=0.5
V= 120 dm^3 = 120 L (1 dm^3 = 1 L)
R = 1/12
P = 15,000 Pa = 0.147 atm (1 pa = 9.86 10^{-6} )
Put the values:
T = PV / nR
T = (0.147) (120) / (0.5) (1/12)
T= 426 K
Answer:
(i) Bohr; (ii) de Broglie; (iii) Heisenberg (v) Schrödinger
Explanation:
(i) Niels Bohr — 1913 — proposed that electrons travel in fixed orbits with <em>quantized energy levels</em> and that they jump from one energy level to another by absorbing or emitting quanta of light.
(ii) <em>Louis de Broglie</em> — 1924 — proposed the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter behaves as both waves and particles (<em>wave-particle duality</em>).
(iii) Werner Heisenberg — 1927 — formulated quantum mechanics in terms of matrices and proposed his famous <em>uncertainty principle</em>.
(v) Erwin Schrödinger — 1926 — applied wave mechanics to the electron in a hydrogen atom, showing that electrons exist in <em>orbitals </em>rather that orbits.
(iv) <em>Ernest Rutherford</em> — 1911 — proposed that atoms have most of their mass in a central nucleus (<em>nuclear atom</em>). Quantum mechanics had not yet been invented.
