What relationship exists between the mass number of an element and the isotopes of that element?
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Because the mass number is the sum of the atomic number (number of protons) and the number of neutrons, isotopes of the same element have different mass numbers.

When working in the laboratory, you discover that the solutions you are working with are tomato juice with a pH of 4 and soap with a pH of 10. By comparing the pH of these substances with that of pure water, would you find that each of these substances is acidic or basic? Explain.
What is The pH of pure water is 7, or neutral. Tomato juice, with a pH of 4, contains higher concentrations of H+ ions than pure water and is an acidic solution. Soap, with a pH of 10, contains lower concentrations of H+ ions than pure water and is a basic solution.

How is energy related to the reactants and products of a chemical reaction?
What is During a chemical reaction, chemical bonds in the reactants are broken and chemical bonds are formed to make the products. Energy is released or absorbed whenever bonds are broken or formed.
