A student submits the following work on the mass number, but he has made a few mistakes. Select the sentences that are incorrect

.
Calculating the mass number for an atom requires that we know the atomic number and the number of protons in the atom’s nucleus. The mass number then gives us the average weight of atoms of a given element. Specifically, these units are calibrated by setting the mass number for carbon-12 as 12 atomic mass units. Neutrons and protons have the same masses. However, as long as the number of protons equals the number of neutrons, the values balance out and we always obtain a whole number for the mass number.

Can someone answer dis:
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

If we subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass: atomic mass - atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons - number of protons. Thus we get the number of neutrons present in an atom when we subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

Explanation: hope this helps???

How does a sample of water at 38 °C compare to a sample of water at 295 K?
Sidana [21]

Converting the temperature, 295 K from Kelvin to Celsius scale:

295 K - 273 = 22^{0} C

Water has a boiling point of 100^{0}C and a melting point of 0^{0} C

When we compare water at two different temperatures, 22^{0}C and 38^{0}C we can say that water is in liquid form at both these temperatures as both of them are quite below the boiling temperature and above the melting temperature.

The temperature difference between water at the given two temperatures = 38^{0}C - 22^{0}C = 16^{0}C

Water at 38^{0}C is at a higher temperature and so is warmer than water at a lower temperature of 22^{0}C (or 295 K).
