Electrons are only
about 0.054% as massive as neutrons and protons are only 99.86% as massive as
the neutrons. The mass of the Proton is 1.67 x 10^-27 kg and the mass of the electron
is 9.11 x 10^-31 kg. The mass of the electron is so much lighter than the mass
of the proton.

This problem is describing the state two gases have when separated and together as shown on the attached picture. First of all, diagram 1 shows how they are separated in two containers with apparently equal volumes, whereas diagram 2 shows the removal of the barrier so that they get mixed together.
In this case, we can analyze that each gas has its own pressure and due to the removal of the barrier, both pressure and volume undergo a change. Thus, we can infer that the final volume is doubled with respected to the initial one for each gas, causing the pressure of each gas to be halved and the total pressure the half of the added ones, in agreement to the Boyle's law (inversely proportional relationship between pressure and temperature).
Therefore, the correct choice is:
C. The partial pressure of each gas in the mixture is half its initial pressure; the final total pressure is half the sum of the initial pressures of the two gases.

Answer:
Energy in the campfire originates from the potential chemical energy of the wood, before it is burnt to warm and give light around the campfire.
Explanation:
For a camp fire, the energy input is in the form of the potential chemical energy, stored up in the firewood used to fuel the flame.
The energy output is in the form of heat energy that the campfire radiates all around, light energy given off from the flame, and a little bit of sound energy, heard in the cracking of the firewood as they burn in the flame.
chemical energy ⇒ heat energy + light energy + sound energy
