Answer:
15
Explanation:
The mass number is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is total number of protons. And since we have the mass number and number of neutrons, we can use simple subtraction (30 - 15) to find that the atomic number is 15.
Answer:
<em>Container A will weigh more</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Both containers are identical, so we assume that they weigh the same.
They both have the same volume, and will contain an equal volume of a material.
Since they both contain water to the top, this means that their volume is fully occupied. But container B contain a block of wood <em><u>floating</u></em> in it.
The fact that the block of wood floats in the water in container B shows that it is less dense than the water around it, and in the container A, this same space is completely filled with water.
What we derive from this is that the portion of space contained by the block of wood in container B is occupied by water in container A, but, in container B, the density of this space is lesser now, since the wood block floats.
<em>Since density is mass per unit volume, and weight is proportional to mass, then we can see that the weight of this volume portion in container B is lesser than that of container A. The consequence is that container A will weigh more than container B because of this extra weight.</em>
The entropy of a system that has only a single microstate is always ZERO. In addition, a microstate or simply known as the "microscopic configuration of a thermodynamic system." This kind of configuration is significant because its phenomenon can easily be observed using experiments.
