Answer:

<u>Mass:</u>

1) Definition : Mass is the quantity of matter possessed by the body.

2) Quantity : Mass is a scalar quantity

3) Measurement: Mass is measured by ordinary balance

4) Unit : Unit of mass is kilograms in SI units.

5) Formula : m = W/g

<u>Weight:</u>

1) Definition: The gravitational force of attraction is called weight.

2) Quantity : Weight is a vector quantity.

3) Measurement : It is measured by spring balance

4) Unit : Unit of Weight is Newton in SI units.

5) Formula : W = mg  [Where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity]

Answer:

Mass is how big an item is while weight is how heavy or light an item is. The mass of a human stays the same weather on Earth or on the Moon. While weight will be different on the Moon rather than on Earth.

You need to prepare a solution with a specific concentration of Na+Na+ ions; however, someone used the end of the stock solution
babymother [125]

Explanation:

Ionic equation

NaCl(aq) --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Na2SO4(aq) --> 2Na+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)

In NaCl solution, 1 mole of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution while in Na2SO4, 2 moles of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution.

Molecular weight of NA2SO4 = (23*2) + 32 + (16*4)

= 142 g/mol

Molecular weight of NaCl = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5 g/mol

Masses

% Mass of NA+ in Na2SO4 = mass of Na+/total mass of Na2SO4 * 100

= 46/142 * 100

= 32.4%

% Mass of NA+ in NaCl = mass of Na+/total mass of NaCl * 100

= 23/58.5 * 100

= 39.3%

Therefore, the % mass of Na+ in NaCl and Na2SO4 are different so it cannot be used.

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles
enot [183]
Among the choices given, the correct answer is the first option. Substance X most likely is a crystal, and substance Y most likely is a liquid. Substance X having a fixed volume describes a crystal because crystals occupy a certain volume. Substance Y is a liquid because liquids can still be compressed further in order to attain a more packed <span>structure.</span>

The combination of potassium-sparing diuretics and salt substitutes can result in dangerously high blood levels of:
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

b. potassium.  

Explanation:

Potassium-sparing diuretics and salt substitutes are diuretics that eliminate salt and water but save potassium. They act by inhibiting the conducting sodium channels in the collecting tubule, such as amiloride and triamterene, or by blocking aldosterone, such as spironolactone.

Concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics together with salt substitutes may result in dangerously high blood levels of serum potassium. For this reason, it is important to consult a physician before taking these substances at the same time to avoid potential problems with potassium accumulation.
