Which statement best explains how isotopes can have different masses and still be the same element?

1 answer:

3 0

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.

One mole of titanium contains how many atoms?

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ 6.02*10^{23} \ atoms}}$

Explanation:

One mole of a substance contains the same amount of representative particles. These particles can be atoms, molecules, ions, or formula units. In this case, the particles are atoms of titanium.

Regardless of the particles, there will always be <u>6.02*10²³</u> (also known as Avogadro's Number) particles in one mole of a substance.

Therefore, the best answer for 1 mole of titanium is D. 6.02*10²³ atoms.

A car slows down from speed of 72

Nastasia [14]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 72km/hr

Final velocity = 0km/hr

Time taken = 25s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;

1000m = 1km

3600s = 1hr

72km/hr;

1km/hr = 0.278m/s

72km/hr = 0.278 x 72 = 20.02m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;

Acceleration = $\frac{final velocity - initial velocity }{time}$

Acceleration = $\frac{0 - 20.02}{25}$ = -0.8m/s

The car is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s

You kick a soccer ball of mass 0.41 kg. the ball leaves your foot with an initial speed of 23 m/s. (a what is the magnitude of t

svetoff [14.1K]

Impulse describes the change of momentum. Since we don't know the momentum of the soccer ball before the hit, this question is hard to answer. If you assume the momentum of the ball before the hit was p = 0, then the change in momentum is just Δp = Impulse = mv.

What two models are used to describe how light behaves

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Light is one of nature's ways of moving energy from one place to another.

Explanation:

It has no substance, or mass. How does light travel? Light behaves like a traveling wave, something like waves in a string or on the surface of water.
