In general chemistry, isotopes are a group of substances that belong to the same element. An element is characterized in the periodic table by their atomic number, which is the number of protons in an atom. Therefore, these substances have the same atomic numbers, but differ in mass numbers. Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
To determine the atomic weight of an element, you take the average weight of all the existent isotopes of that said element. The calculation would require to multiply the exact mass of the isotope to its abundance. Then, sum them all up.
Atomic weight = 98(0.18) + 112(0.82)
Atomic weight = 109.48 amu
Answer & explanation:
Canned fruits and vegetables generally have a high acidity and salinity content, in order to prevent the product from spoiling, in addition to enhancing its flavor.
The cream-based sauce started to curdle due to the acidity present in the canned tomatoes.
By lowering the pH of dairy products, a protein in them called casein begins to clot. It is this clotting of the casein that causes the cream-based sauce to curdle.
