Answer:

Co-59 and Co-60 differ in the number of neutrons.

Explanation:

Co-59 and Co-60 are isotopes of one another. Isotopes differ from one another as they have different mass number but same atomic number. Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. As they have the same atomic number they have same number of protons. They have different number of neutrons.

Co has atomic number 27. So Co-59 and Co-60 have (59-27) or 32 and (60-27) or 33 number of neutrons respectively.

Why do gases diffuse more quickly than liquids?

Alborosie

Answer:

D)Gas particles move rapidly and have space between them.

Explanation:

Matter exists in three states namely: solids, liquids and gases. The particles contained in these three states are different from one another. In the gaseous state, the particles are FAR APART from one another i.e. space exists and they move at a very fast rate in contrast to the particles of a liquid, which have less space and move slower.

This rapid movement of gas particles within a less restricted space accounts for the reason why gaseous substances DIFFUSE more quickly than liquids.

At the county fair, Carrie and Sam climbed up on the carousel horses. Around and around they went; the horses also bobbed up and

grigory [225]

I believe sam's response is correct.
When human is riding a moving target with constant speed over a period of time, we tend to have a visual acceleration perception due to our optical movement.
This make people such as Carrie believes that the carousel horses are accelerating while it actually stayed at constant pace.

What is the molality of a solution if 100.0 g of glucose (C&Hi20e) were dissolved into 750. mL of water?

hodyreva [135]

Answer: The molality of solution is 0.740 m.

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of solvent (water), we use the equation:

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Volume of water = 750 mL

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{750mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=750g$

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

$Molarity=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}$

Where,

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ = 100.0 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ = 180 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (water) = 750 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of }C_6H_{12}O_6=\frac{100\times 1000}{180\times 750}\\\\\text{Molality of }C_6H_{12}O_6=0.740m$

Hence, the molality of solution is 0.740 m.

which of the following correctly identifies the composition of an oxygen atom? A.8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons. B.6 pro

Ulleksa [173]

You can answer this question by getting the atomic number and atomic mass of Oxygen from a periodic table. There you will find that the atomic number is 8, that means, by definition, that it has 8 protons. This is, because atomic number is defined as the number of protons of an element. Given that the atom is neutral, that implies that the atoms have the same number of electrons than protons. So you already know that the oxygen atoms has 8 protons and 8 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, which is what defines the isotopes. Given that the atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999, that means that most atoms of oxygen has 8 neutrons (8 protons +8 neutrons = 16 atomic mass). But you can not be sure that a specific atom of oxygen has 8 neutrons, nevertheless, given that the other options are discarded (because they do not have 8 protons and 8 electrons), the only correct answer is the option A. 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons.
