Chemistry
1 answer:
LenKa [72]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: An element with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons

Explanation:

The # of protons in an atom is what determines what atom it is (hydrogen has 1 proton, helium has 2 protons, etc ...). You cannot change the number of protons in an atom without changing what element the atom is.

The number of electrons in atoms varies greatly because electrons are constantly gained, lost, and shared during chemical reactions.

An isotope is a variation of the same element (so they must have the same # of protons) that have different masses (and therefore a different number of neutrons).

The answer is the fourth choice, "An element with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons"

Which statement best describes why specific heat capacity is often more useful than heat capacity for scientists when comparing
Misha Larkins [42]

The correct option is this: SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY IS AN INTENSIVE PROPERTY AND DOES NOT DEPEND ON SAMPLE SIZE.

Generally, all the properties of matters can be divided into two classes, these are intensive and extensive properties. Intensive properties are those properties that are not determined by the quantity of the material that is present or available. Examples of intensive properties are colour, density and specific heat capacity. For instance, whether you have a bucket of water or a cup of water, the quantity does not matter, the colour of water will always remain the same. Extensive properties in contrast, are those properties that depend on the quantity of material that is available. Examples are mass, heat capacity and volume.

marin [14]
The net equations are obtained from the double displacement of the cations and anions, then balance. 

NH3(aq) + HC2H3O2 (aq) =  NH4+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq<span>) 
</span><span>H+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq) + NH3(aq) -> NH4+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq)</span><span>

</span><span>2NaOH(aq) + H2SO4 (aq) = Na2SO4 (s)+ 2H2O (aq)
</span>H2S (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) = BaS (s)+ 2H2O (aq)
