Isotopes are different versions of a specific element.

Every atom/element is defined by its protons. So if it has 1 proton it's hydrogen no matter what, if it has 2 protons it's helium no matter what and so on. If you know the number of protons, you know the element.

You can change the number of neutrons in the nucleus and you'll get isotopes. Atoms that have different numbers of neutrons are isotopes of each other. It's important to understand that the element is the same but one is going to be a little bit heavier or lighter than another.

An isotope is an atom with a unique number of neutrons. Isotopes can differ from each other because of their number of neutrons.

What is the amount of solute required if the solution is 50 ml and the solvent is 35 ml. Solve and explain
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

15 mL of the solute

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Solution = 50 mL

Solvent = 35 mL

Solute =?

Solution is simply defined as:

Solution = solute + solvent

With the above formula, we can easily obtain the solute in the solution as follow:

Solution = 50 mL

Solvent = 35 mL

Solute =?

Solution = solute + solvent.

50 = solute + 35

Collect like terms

50 – 35 = solute

15 = solute

Solute = 15 mL

Therefore, 15 mL of the solute is required.
