Calculate: A proportionality is not the same thing as an equation, however. To convert a proportionality into an equation it is necessary to multiply by a mathematical constant. For example, a ∝ b means that a = kb, where k is a constant. When referring to gases, this constant is referred to as R, the ideal gas constant. In the space below, rewrite the proportionality you created in question 2 so that the proportionality symbol (∝) is changed to “=” and the right side is multiplied by R.

Imagine if during the cathode ray experiment, the size of the particles of the ray was the same as the size of the atom forming the cathode. which other model or scientific observation would have also been supported? 1. this would support dalton's postulates that proposed the atoms are indivisible because no small particles are involved. 2. this would support bohr's prediction about electrons moving in orbits having specific energy. 3. this would support bohr's prediction about electrons being randomly scattered around the nucleus in the atom. 4. this would support dalton's postulates that proposed that atoms combine in fixed whole number ratios to form compounds.
