A word equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
<em>If you want information on the balanced symbol equations, feel free to PM me.</em>
Answer:
Its atomic mass increases by 1
An isotope of that element is fotmed with mass differences by 1
Explanation:
Of any substance? What about two powders such as 1/2 cup of white flour, then mixing 1/2 cup of salt together with the flour. This would then form a more coarse mixture being that the two particles differ in shape.
The answer is (C) as the definitions states that atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons.
Hope this helps :).
