How do carbon-12 and carbon-13 differ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Feliz [49]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

They have different amounts of neutrons.

They have different mass numbers.

Explanation:

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are two isotopes of the element carbon. The difference between carbon-12 and carbon-13 is the number of neutrons in each atom. Atoms of both isotopes of carbon contain 6 protons. Atoms of carbon-12 have 6 neutrons, while atoms of carbon-13 contain 7 neutrons. And because the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus then will be different too. Atoms of carbon-12 have the mass number equal to  12 a.m.u. while atoms of carbon-13  have the mass number equal to 13 a.m.u. .

a.m.u. - atomic mass units

The relationship between pressure and volume, when moles and temperature of a gas are held constant, is: PV = k. We could say th
pochemuha
You can say that if the volume of the gas is halved, the pressure is doubled.

The expression shows that pressure and volume are inversely proportional if temperature and amount of gas is held constant.  This means that if volume goes down the pressure needs to go up.  That also means that in order to maintain the K value, if pressure is doubled the volume needs to be halved and if the pressure is halved the volume needs to be doubled.

This relationship only works if we assume everything else (Temperature and moles of gas) to be constant.
