What melts ice cubes faster sugar or salt?

You will have to do an experiment to determine the answer. You will need to think about having equal concentrations of salt or sugar in the cubes. The size of the molecules/particles is different. So 100 g of salt does not have the same number of molecules/particles as 100 g of sugar. The ratio of particles is 1:4.6 for the same mass of sugar to salt. You can see that this is not an easy question to answer. Which melts faster if the mass of salt and sugar is the same? Which melts faster if the number of particles is the same? The next problem is that salt actually separates into two particles when dissolved in water, sodium ions and chloride ions whereas sugar does not. So one salt particle is actually two ions and the ratio of particles now becomes salt:sugar = 2.3:1 for the same mass of substances. This sounds like a great project for someone to investigate.


How are particles in cold water different from particles in hot water?

One of the particle theory's points is that there are unseen spaces between particles, another is that particles are always moving. Therefore, combining those two points, the more the particles move, the bigger the spaces between them which is to say that, take oxygen and mercury for example, oxygen is a gas at room temperature, therefore, the particles are moving faster than that of mercury, which is liquid at room temperature, meaning that, they have different densities


Which statement compares the masses of two subatomic particles?

Subatomic particles are measured in amu's--atomic mass units. Protons and neutrons are both approximately 1 amu, and electrons have a mass so much less as to be negligible (about 1/2000 that of a proton).


If Two Objects have the same volume does this mean that both objects must have the same mass Explain?

Just because two ojects occupy the same volume does not mean that they have the same mass. For example: If I have two boxes of the same dimension (volume) and fill one with hammers and the second with feathers. are they the same mass? Of course not. another way of looking at the problem at hand would be to take a tone of hammers and a tone of feathers. which one occupies the most space? the feathers of course. so to have the same mass as the hammers, the feathers need to occupy more volume.


In a presentation about measuring Mass one of your classmates states Two objects of the same size will always have the same mass. and Is this statement correct Why or why not?

Different objects contain different amounts of matter, even if they are the same size. Therefore, two objects of the same size can have different masses.

What two particles in an atom have approximatley the same mass?

Proton and neutron.


Which two particles in the atom have the same mass?

No two subatomic particles have the exact same mass. The proton and the neutron, however, come close. Neutrons are heavier than protons by only 2.3 X 10-30 kg.

Which two subatomic particles have about the same mass?

Ah, isn't it fascinating how the proton and neutron have about the same mass? They're like two peas in a pod, working together to make up the nucleus of an atom. Just imagine them dancing around, creating harmony in the world of particles.


Which two factors affect the kinetic energy of the particles?

Temperature and mass of the particles affect the kinetic energy of particles. As temperature increases, the particles move faster, increasing their kinetic energy. Similarly, particles with higher mass have greater kinetic energy compared to particles with lower mass at the same temperature.


Does alpha particles have less mass the beta particles?

An alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons (same as a Helium nucleus) so when a nucleus ejects an alpha it will defintely have less mass. Also it will be a new element because it has two less protons.


Is subatomic particles same as molar mass?

No. The two phrases have almost nothing to do with each other at all.


Do nuetrons have higher mass or alpha particles?

alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons (helium nucleus) logically one neutron can not have a larger mass than two neutrons and two other subatomic particles of a similar mass


What two particles weight about the same?

Electron and positron (anti-electron) have almost the same mass, with a negligible difference due to their opposite charge.


In subatomic particles do protons and neutrons have the same mass?

No, protons and neutrons do not have the same mass. Protons have a slightly smaller mass than neutrons. The difference in mass between the two particles is due to the different composition of quarks that make up each particle.
