mass by difference is an indirect way to find the mass of an object. For example, if you know the mass of a 'beaker and the substance in it' and the 'mass of the beaker', you can determine the mass of the substance by subtracting (mass of beaker + substance) - (mass of beaker)

How is the mass defect determined?

The mass of a nucleus is subtracted from the sum of the masses of its individual components.


What term describes the tiny difference in mass between the products and reactants of a nuclear change?

The term that describes the tiny difference in mass between the products and reactants of a nuclear change is "mass defect." This difference in mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, which explains the principle behind nuclear reactions.


What is the mass defect?

If you add the exact mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom you do not get the exact atomic mass of the isotope. The diference is called the mass defect. The difference between the mass of the atomic nucleus and the sum of the masses of the particles within the nucleus is known as the mass defect.


What is the mass of 64.44 grams?

The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.


Does using the tare function on the balance produce the same result as determining the mass by difference?

Yes, using the tare function on a balance allows you to subtract the mass of a container to measure only the mass of the contents, which is equivalent to determining the mass by difference. Both methods help you accurately measure the mass of the substance without including the mass of the container.
