<h3>Answer:</h3>

4551.37 Pascals

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The pressure refers to the force exerted by a substance per unit area.

The pressure is liquid is calculated by;

P = height × density × gravitational acceleration

In this case;

Height = 636.2 mm

Density = 0.7300 g/cm³

g = 9.8 N/kg

We need to convert mm to m and g/cm³ to kg/m³

Therefore;

Height = 636.2 mm ÷1000

= 0.6362 m

Density = 0.73 g/cm³ × 1000 kg/m³

= 730 kg/m³

Then, we can calculate the pressure;

Pressure = 0.6362 m × 730 kg/m³ × 9.8 N/kg

= 4551.3748 pascals

= 4551.37 Pascals

Therefore, the pressure of the column of decane is 4551.37 Pascals

Answer = B = Neutrons and Mass Number

Isotopes are defined as those atoms which have same atomic number but different atomic masses.

Atomic mass is basically the number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

Atomic number is the number of protons present in an atom.

So, in isotopes the number of protons are same but the number of neutrons vary due to which atomic masses also vary.
In given three isotopes, all have same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
i.e.
H-1 = 1 P + 0 N = 1 u (Proton)
H-2 = 1 P + 1 N = 2 u (Deuterium)
H-3 = 1 P + 2 N = 3 u (Tritium)

Hence, it is clear that the number after H shows a change in number of neutrons and mass number.
