What is atomic mass, atomic number, isotopes and how are all these terms related to each other?

Atomic mass deals with the number of protons and neutrons added together, atomic number deals with protons only, though isotopes can be explained like this, say you had a hydrogen atom it's one proton and one electron if you add a neutron to it, the hydrogen becomes Deuterium which is a isotope of hydrogen it's the same atom just a neutron added to it for a different atomic mass if only slightly changed

Atomic mass is the sum of proton and neutrons

Atomic number is just number of protons

Isotopes of elements have same atomic number but different atomic mass due to difference in number of nuetrons

Match each substance with the correct designation for the equation HSO3- + CH3NH2 <=> SO32- + CH3NH3+ HSO3- CH3NH2 SO32- C

Zanzabum

Answer:

$HSO_3^-$ : conjugate acid of $SO_3^{2-}$

$CH_3NH_2$ : conjugate base of $CH_3NH_3^+$

$SO_3^{2-}$ : conjugate base of $HSO_3^-$

$CH_3NH_3^+$ : conjugate acid of $CH_3NH_2$

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

$HSO_3^-+CH_3NH_2\rightleftharpoons SO_3^{2-}+CH_3NH_3^+$

Here in forward reaction $CH_3NH_2$ is accepting a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after accepting a proton, it forms $CH_3NH_3^+$ which is a conjugate acid.

And $HSO_3^-$ is losing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after loosing a proton, it forms $SO_3^{2-}$ which is a conjugate base.

Similarly in the backward reaction, $CH_3NH_3^+$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as a acid and after loosing a proton, it forms $CH_3NH_2$ which is a conjugate base.

And $SO_3^{2-}$ is accepting a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after accepting a proton, it forms $HSO_3^{-}$ which is a conjugate acid.

Does gravity affect acceleration? How?

victus00 [196]

Answer: When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

Explain how the energy of a toy car is transformed as it slides down a ramp. Give evidence that the energy of the car remains th

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

As the car starts to slide down the ramp, it is kinetic energy and when it's on the top of the ramp, it is potential energy. We can see that the energy is now being transferred through the car and ramp.
