Answer:

Carbon-14 or C-14

Explanation:

Since the isotope is a carbon isotope, it means the the atomic number of the isotope is 6.

The atomic number of an element is the proton number.

Therefore, the isotope has a proton number of 6

Now we need to obtain the mass number of isotope in order to write the symbol of the isotope. This is illustrated below:

Mass number = Proton +Neutron

Proton = 6

Neutron = 8

Mass number = 6 + 8

Mass number = 14

Therefore, the symbol of the isotope is carbon-14 or C-14

Describe all the relationships between pressure, volume, and temperature

hammer [34]

The pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, provided that the volume does not change (Amontons's law).

 The volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature is held constant (Boyle's law).

1. Discuss briefly system and surrounding using suitable examples, highlighting heat transfers. 14 marks

lisabon 2012 [21]

A system is a part of the physical universe defined arbitrarily for observation purposes.

Boundaries are a part of the physical universe that are around the system.

In a scientific sense, a system is a part of the physical universe whose boundaries, that is, the limit between the system and its surroundings, are defined arbitrarily for observation purposes.

A system contains at least a model, represented in a phenomenological way, and it can be isolated (no mass nor energy interactions), closed (no mass interactions) or open.

The surroundings are a part of the physical universe that are around the system.

An example is a coffee-maker, where coffee-maker the system and air represents the surroundings, the coffee-maker receives energy from a heat source to warm up itself and releases part of such energy to the air.
