What are the steps for converting grams to atoms? 

First divide mass by molar mass and then multiply by Avagadro's number

200

true or false:

a conversion factor is a ratio

true

200

How many atoms are in 1 gram of Carbon

5. x 1022


1gx(1 mol/12.011g)= 0.0832mol x 6.02x1023

5. x 1022

what is the photoelectric effect equation?

hv = Ek + W

Ek = is the kinetic energy of the
ejected electron 

W= the binding energy of the electron

describe the photoelectric effect?

when light strikes the surface of a metal, electrons can be ejected. but each metal has a minimum amount of energy for this to happen
