One reason could be that the water in this experiment, didn’t boil, but instead became a “chemical reaction” from atmospheric pressure which is normal.
While heating two different samples, of
sea level water it decides on a temperature of 102°C and the other boils at 99.2°C. Basically calculating of the percent error.
Answer:
Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot. break a compound into simpler substances; oxygen and hydrogen that water contains.
But where is the following?
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is isotopes generally have the same chemical properties, but often different nuclear properties.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Isotopes are defined as the chemical species of the same element which have same atomic number but differ in their mass number.
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.
Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
Nuclear properties of an element is determined by the number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus.
Chemical properties of an element is determined by the number of electrons present in an atom.
Isotopes have same atomic number, this means that they have same number of protons and electrons but they differ in mass number, which means that they differ in number of neutrons.
Hence, isotopes will have same chemical properties but different nuclear properties.
