Answer:
Neutrons are all identical to each other, just as protons are. Atoms of a particular element must have the same number of protons but can have different numbers of neutrons.
Explanation:
Since the vast majority of an atom's mass is found its protons and neutrons, subtracting the number of protons (i.e. the atomic number) from the atomic mass will give you the calculated number of neutrons in the atom. In our example, this is: 14 (atomic mass) – 6 (number of protons) = 8 (number of neutrons).
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Autotrophs utilize the energy from sunlight to reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrates (glucose). The energy from the sunlight is used to split water into H+ and O2- and the H+ used in the reduction process. The labeled carbon in the carbon dioxide will, therefore, be incorporated by the autotrophs in the carbohydrates made in photosynthesis.
They work by lowering the activation energy
Answer:
1) chemical indicators won't work above it's pH range so therefore it probably won't change colour.
2) the solution should be clear and colourless to see colour change.
3) indicators tend to be of low accuracy so it's not 100% reliable.

Explanation:
Phenolphthalein acts like a weak acid, so in aqueous solution, it has an acid form HIn, and the conjugate base In-, and the pH of it can be calculated by the Handerson-Halsebach equation:
pH = pKa + log[In-]/[HIn]
pKa = -logKa, and Ka is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation of the acid. [X] is the concentrantion of X. Thus,
i) pH = 4.9
4.9 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = - 4.8
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 1.58x10⁻⁵
ii) pH = 2.1
2.1 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = -7.6
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 2.51x10⁻⁸
iii) pH = 7.8
7.8 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = -1.9
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 0.0126
iv) pH = 11.5
11.5 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = 1.8
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 63.10
