Answer:

It would be an isotope.

Background Information:

Isotopes are typically elements that have a different number of protons than neutrons. The atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons.

Explanation:

If the atomic number is the number of protons that means that this particular element has 8 protons. If the atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons then we can simply take away the amount of protons from that number, 18 - 8 = 10. If we take protons away from the number of protons and neutrons we are left with the number of neutrons. So there are 10 neutrons. Because there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons, or a different amount of neutrons and protons we know that this particular atom is an isotope.

True because in a solid particles dont move so it wouldn't be in a constant motion.

Answer:

The SI units for measuring the velocity of the car: meters per second (m/s)

The Sl units for measuring the acceleration of the car: meters per second squared (m/s^2)

The SI units for measuring force: Newton (N)

The SI units for measuring mass: kilograms (kg)

Explanation:

Système international (SI) or International System of Units consist of a list of unit measurement that mostly used by scientist. The scientist from a different country might use different unit that makes them have to convert the result of each other. The usage of the same unit measurement will help the scientist to read that publication easier, make it easier to share and discuss any topic. The unit used is metric since the decimal system also makes the conversion of a unit easier.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{109.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}}$

Explanation:

Data:

50/50 ethylene glycol (EG):water

V = 4.70 gal

ρ(EG) = 1.11 g/mL

ρ(water) = 0.988 g/mL

Calculations:

The formula for the boiling point elevation ΔTb is

$\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}b$

i is the van’t Hoff factor — the number of moles of particles you get from 1 mol of solute. For EG, i = 1.

1. Moles of EG

$\rm n = 0.50 \times \text{4.70 gal} \times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 mL}}{\text{1 L}} \times \dfrac{\text{1.11 g}}{\text{1 mL}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{62.07 g}} = \text{159 mol}$

2. Kilograms of water

$m = 0.50 \times \text{4.70 gal} \times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{998 g}}{\text{1 L}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{1000 g}} = \text{8.88 kg}$

3. Molal concentration of EG

$b = \dfrac{\text{159 mol}}{\text{8.88 kg}} = \text{17.9 mol/kg}$

4. Increase in boiling point

$\rm \Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}b = 1 \times 0.512 \, \, ^{\circ}\text{C} \cdot kg \cdot mol^{-1} \, \times 17.9 \cdot mol \cdot kg^{-1} = 9.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}$

5. Boiling point

$\rm T_{b} = T_{b}^{\circ} + \Delta T_{b} = 100.00 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} + 9.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} = \mathbf{109.17 \, ^{\circ}C}\\\rm \text{The boiling point of the solution is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{109.17 \, ^{\circ}C}}$}$
