Ice cream melting is a physical and reversible change because it is a solid and the sun's heat is making it melt into a liquid. It is reversible because it is able to change back its state into a solid with the heat taken away. Reversible changes is a change in a substance that can be reversed.

Frozen yogurt dissolving is a physical and reversible change since it is a strong and the sun's warmth is making it soften into a fluid. It is reversible since it can change back its state into a strong with the warmth removed. Reversible changes is an adjustment in a substance that can be switched.

Melting ice cream is a physical change because it is a phase change, the water in the ice cream gains thermal energy and the inter-molecular forces are overcome and the molecules move further apart forming a liquid. It is not a chemical change because no chemical reactions occurred.

An electron has an uncertainty in its position of 513 pm. What is the uncertainty in its velocity?

ella [17]

"The uncertainty in velocity is Δv=1.05⋅105m/s . According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, you cannot measure simultaneously with great precision both the momentum and the position of a particle. m - the mass of an electron - 9.10938⋅10−31kg."

The atomic mass of helium-4 is 4.0026 amu. How many of each

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Protons: 2.

Electrons: 2.

Neutrons: 2.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since an atom's atomic number is equal to the number of electrons, considering the electron configurations, taking into account that helium-4 is neither positively nor negatively charged, we can infer that the number of electrons equal the number of protons, which in this case are 2, due to the fact that is atomic number is 2.

Moreover, as helium-4's atomic number is 4 as a whole number, we compute the number of neutrons by using the shown below equation:

$Neutrons=mass\ number-atomic\ number\\\\Neutrons=4-2\\\\Neutrons=2$

Regards.
