Using a Boltzmann distribution, find the fraction of atoms in the excited state versus the ground state (i. e. the relative population) in a plasma source and a flame source. Assume that the lowest energy of a sodium atom lies at 3.371x10-19 J above the ground state, the degeneracy of the excited state is 2, whereas that of the ground state is 1, and the temperature of the flame is 3000 K and 10,000 K for plasma.

Aflask with vinegar in it has a mass of 160 grams. a balloon with baking soda in it has a mass of 40 grams. the balloon is attached to the flask to seal the opening and the vinegar and baking soda mixes. the balloon inflates to a large volume. what will the total mass of the balloon and flask be after the balloon inflates? explain. a) less than 200 grams because the solid baking soda disappears. b) 200 grams, because all the atoms remain in the balloon or flask. c) more than 200 grams because the size of the balloon is so much larger. d) less than 200 grams because gases such as the one in the balloon are lighter than solids and liquids.
