5 0

This is called the Mass Number of the isotope of the atom.

Isotopes are different forms of the same atom. They have the same number of protons  but different number of neutrons.

Carbon-12 has mass number  12 as it has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.

Carbon-14 has mass number 14 as its has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

A rotameter calibration curve (flow rate versus float position) obtained using a liquid is mistakenly used to measure a gas flow
Veronika [31]

Answer:

I would expect the gas rate determined in this manner to be too low

Explanation:

A Rotameter can be designed to respond to the sensitivity of density, velocity, to measure the flow rate of liquid or gas enclosed in a tube. Liquids are denser than gas, and since the gas rate to be determined needed to respond to the velocity head alone of the rotameter so as to bring the forces in the tube equilibrium. Knowing if there is no flow, then the float would remain at the bottom, so gas has to flow at a higher rate compared to the liquid so the float would be in a similar position making it easier to measure the flowrate. This leaves the gas rate to be determined too low.

Calcium must lose two electrons to get a full outer shell. what is the name of the group to which calcium belongs
11111nata11111 [884]
The answer to this question would be: alkaline earth metal

Alkali earth metal is the second column group of the periodic table. In this group, the element has 2 extra electrons in their outer cells. That is why most of this metal has 2+ charge.
Their neighbor is the alkali metal which was the first column of the periodic table. The name is similar so don't confused and mix them each other.

If the heating curve is reversed, what describes the boiling point?
GalinKa [24]
Boiling is the process of converting a substance from liquid state to gaseous state. If the heating curve is reversed, the process also is reversed from converting gaseous state to liquid state. In this case, the reverse of boiling is condensation. So the answer is point of condensation.
