protons and electrons are both always the atomic number which is 9 in this case.

For neutrons you subtract the atomic number (9) from the weight of the atom (18.998) some teachers will want you to round to the nearest whole (19). We do this because the number of protons is the atomic number so if you subtract the protons from the whole weight of the atom you would have the electrons and neutrons left. Since electrons weigh so little we don't have to subtract them. Weighing neutrons and electrons would be like weighing an elephant (neutrons) and then putting one marshmallow on the scale (electron).

Answer:

Formula weight of H₂O molecule is 18.02 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Formula weight of H₂O = ?

Atomic mass of H = 1.008 amu

Atomic mass of O = 16.00 amu

Solution:

Formula weight:

"It is the sum of all the atomic weight of atoms present in given formula"

Formula weight of H₂O = 2×1.008 amu + 1×16.00 amu

Formula weight of H₂O = 18.02 amu

Thus, formula weight of H₂O molecule is 18.02 amu.

You were making a cream based sauce for your pasta and decided to add some freshly canned tomatoes to the sauce. It tasted fine,

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer & explanation:

Canned fruits and vegetables generally have a high acidity and salinity content, in order to prevent the product from spoiling, in addition to enhancing its flavor.

The cream-based sauce started to curdle due to the acidity present in the canned tomatoes.

By lowering the pH of dairy products, a protein in them called casein begins to clot. It is this clotting of the casein that causes the cream-based sauce to curdle.

Three blocks of metal at the same temperature are placed on a hot stove. Their specific heat capacities are listed below.Rank th

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Copper>Steel>Aluminium

Explanation:

Hello,

Since the heat capacity accounts for the required heat to increase by 1°C, 1 kg of the metal, copper is the one that has the lower heat capacity, it means that it requires the least amount of energy to warm up (increase its temperature), this could be substantiated via the mathematical definition of heat capacity:

$H=mC(T_2-T_1)$
