Chemistry
1 answer:
Helen [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A wave character exhibited by all particles

Explanation:

The central idea in quantum mechanics is the paradox of wave-particle duality. In quantum mechanics, all particles are believed to also exhibit wavelike characters.

The electron is assumed to behave as a wave hence its position can not be precisely determined according the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

These are the underlying postulates that informed Erwin Schrödinger's wave mechanical model of the atom.

Hence, the basic postulate of quantum mechanics is that a wave character is exhibited by all particles.

A helium balloon is filled on the ground where the atmospheric pressure is 768 torr. The volume of the balloon is 8.00 m3. When
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is: <u>B. 366 torr</u>

Explanation:

Given: <u>On the ground</u>- Initial Volume: V₁ = 8.00 m³, Initial Atmospheric Pressure: P₁= 768 torr;

<u>At 4200 m height</u>- Final Volume: V₂ = 16.80 m³, Final Atmospheric Pressure: P₂ = ?

Amount of gas: n, and Temperature: T = constant

<u>According to the Boyle's Law</u>, for a given amount of gas at constant temperature:         P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

⇒  P₂ = P₁ V₁ ÷ V₂

⇒  P₂ = [(768 torr) × (8.00 m³)] ÷ (16.80 m³)

⇒  P₂ = 365.71 torr ≈ 366 torr

<u>Therefore, the final air pressure at 4200 m height: P₂ = 366 torr.</u>

Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures?
Naily [24]

Answer:

c. 20.0332 g to 20,0 g

Explanation:

A significant figure is each of the digits of a number that are used to express it to the required degree of accuracy, starting from the first non-zero digit, with the exception of the trailing zeros.

<em>Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures? </em>

a. 109 526 g to 109 500 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 109 500.

b. 0.03954 g to 0.040 g. NO. The rounded number has 2 significant figures:  0.040.

c. 20.0332 g to 20.0 g. YES. The rounded number has 3 significant figures:  20.0.

d. 04.05438 g to 4.054 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 4.054.

e. 103.692 g to 103.7g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 103.7.
