Your list of choices is a very short list, and doesn't include any
correct explanation.

The mass of an atom is roughly the number of protons AND neutrons
in its nucleus, but the element only depends on how many protons are there. 

Different atoms of the same element may have different numbers of
neutrons, so their masses are different.  But they're the same element,
because they all have the same number of protons.

Which of these chemical equations demonstrates the law of conservation of mass as it applies to the combustion of ethane? A. 2 C
WINSTONCH [101]

A. 2 C₂ H₆ + 7 O₂ → 4 C O₂ + 6 H₂ O


according to law of conservation of mass , the total mass of reactants side must be same as the total mass of product side. so we need to check if each atom in the equation has same number on both side of the equation or not.

in this equation , we have

4 atoms of carbon left and 4 atoms of carbon on right

12 atoms of hydrogen on left and 12 atoms of hydrogen on right

14 atoms of oxygen on left and 14 atoms of oxygen on right

What Converts sound to a signal in a telephone
Irina-Kira [14]

The part you talk into, that converts the sound of your voice
into an electrical signal, is a tiny microphone.

-- The sound waves from your voice are ripples in the air.

-- In most microphones, there's a tiny coil of wire hanging
between the ends of a tiny magnet.   

-- When the ripples in the air hit the little coil of wire, they
make it vibrate (wiggle) slightly.

-- When a coil of wire wiggles in the field of a magnet,
a current flows in the wire.

There's
your electrical signal !
