Mostly because weight in the size of something and mass generalizes the amount in something <span />

It is because weight can be change in different gravity but mass remains same in any condition 'cause it does not depend on any physical condition.

The red arrow is pointed at different locations of an atom of Helium. Where is it pointing to the GREATEST concentration of atom

Mama L [17]

Answer:

A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example in case of Helium:

The 1st one diagram shows that arrow is pointing with in nucleus. The helium nucleus contain two protons and two neutrons. Thus maximum mass is present with in nucleus. while two electrons are revolve around the nucleus and mass of electron is negligible.

What is the molarity of a solution that is made by mixing 35.5 g of Ba(OH)2 in 325 ml of solution?

choli [55]

Answer:

$M=0.638M$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of a solution is calculated by diving the moles of solute by the volume of solution in liters, we first compute the moles of barium hydroxide in 35.5 g as shown below:

$n=35.5g Ba(OH)_2*\frac{1molBa(OH)_2}{171.34gBa(OH)_2}\\\\n=0.207mol$
