Answer:La diferencia entre el carbono-12 y carbono-14 es el número de neutrones en cada átomo. El número dado después de que el nombre de átomo (carbono) indica el número de protones y neutrones en un átomo o ion. Los átomos de ambos isótopos de carbono contienen 6 protones. Los átomos de carbono-12 tienen 6 neutrones , mientras que los átomos de carbono-14 contienen 8 neutrones.

Explanation:Un  átomo neutro tendría el mismo número de protones y electrones, por lo que un átomo neutro de carbono-12 o carbono-14 tendría 6 electrones.

A pesar de que los neutrones no llevan una carga eléctrica, que tienen una masa comparable a la de los protones, por lo que los diferentes isótopos tienen diferente peso atómico. Carbon-12 es más ligero que el carbono-14.

What's the most reliable indicator you should use when determining if you should modify activity for heat?
sp2606 [1]

Heath index chart is the best indicator you should use when determining if you should modify activity for heat. The "heat index" is a single value that looks for both temperature and humidity. The higher the heat index, the weather will feel the hotter since sweat does not immediately evaporate and cool the skin. The heat index used is much better than air temperature alone for estimating the risk to workers from environmental heat sources.

What is an advantage and disadvantage of using 4.5-7.5 pH paper?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The correct answer would be:

Advantage: helps in finding the exact ph value with a narrower range.

Disadvantage: You don't know the exact ph value on a regular scale.

Explanation:

The pH paper is a pH paper with a color indicator that helps in determining the pH value precisely between the 4.5 to 7.5 pH range. It is accurate in comparison to other pH papers such as 0-14 paper. One no need to guess the color between the different colors from various color mixtures as it has a more precise color reading that helps in finding accurate pH value in a narrow range.

On a regular scale, it is not as accurate and one can not find the exact value as it provides a narrow range value between 4.5 to 7.5.
