What's more likely: an object whose mass is 0, or an object whose weight is 0?

If an object's mass is exactly zero, then the object does not exist. No mass means no atoms. However, an object can have no weight and still have a mass. The weight depends on the gravitational force.


What is a small cylinder labeled with a mass that is used with a balance used to find the matter of other objects?

A small cylinder labeled with a mass is called a calibration weight. It is used with a balance to calibrate the balance by comparing the weight of the calibration weight to the weight of the object being measured. This helps ensure accurate measurements of the mass of other objects.


What is the difference between atomic percent and weight percent?

Atomic percent is based on the number of atoms in a sample. So if the sample has x number of oxygen atoms and x number of iron atoms it would report 50% oxygen and 50% iron (atomic percent). Weight percent is based on the mass of the elements detected. So if we used the above example and reported the results as weight percent we would get 22.3% oxygen and 77.7% iron. Weight percent takes into consideration the mass or atomic weight of the elements and not just the number of atoms. Most people use weight percent although for chemistry atomic percent may be more useful.


What objects have large volume but small mass and weight?

Objects like balloons, styrofoam, cotton balls, and bubbles have large volume but small mass and weight. This is because their density is low, meaning they have very little mass compared to the amount of space they occupy.


Do farts have any weight?

Yes, farts do have weight. When you pass gas, you are releasing a mixture of gases that have mass, so they do have a small amount of weight.

Are mass and weight both a matter of how many atoms are in a substance?

mass is about atoms and so is weight so i guess yes..


How do you calculate the atomic weight of fluorine if the mass of 8.46.10 to the 24 atoms of fluorine is 266.889?

Atomic weight of fluorine = 6,022 141 78.1023 (Avogadro number) . 266,889 (the mass of atoms)/8,46.1024 (the number of atoms). The IUPAC 2005 atomic weight of fluorine is 18,998 403 2(5).


Does mass rely on weight?

No. but mass is mesured in weight on earth, cause of a standard. mass is the build upp of the atoms that makes an objekt. weight is from gravity. balistic is affekted by mass.


What is the unit of weight for elements?

The unit of weight for elements is typically measured in atomic mass units (amu) or grams. The atomic mass unit is defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.


What are is the atomic mass of salts atoms?

The atomic weight (not mass) of sodium is: 22,989 769 28.The atomic weight (not mass) of chlorine is: 35,45.


What is the label on the x-axis of the mass spectrum?

"atomic weight" is always on the x-axis of the mass spectrum graph.


Which subatomic particle has such a small mass that is not used to calculate the atoms atomic mass?

What is Jupiter's atomic weight?

Atoms (not planets) have "atomic weight", usually called "atomic mass" now. Perhaps you mean : What is Jupiter's mass? Jupiter's mass is about 318 times the mass of our Earth.


Is mass and weight different?

Yes. Weight is a force. Force = mass x acceleration. Acceleration is the gravity of a body. So on Earth, weight = mass x 9.9 m/sec2 Mass is a property related to the atoms in a substance.


What determines the atoms weight?

The weight of nucleus. Mass of electrons is negligible.


What is the weight of density?

density has no weight, it is a measure of how close the atoms in an object are packed. mass per unit volume.


Does the molar mass of a compound change depending on the weight of the compound?

Molar mass depend on the ,mass,type and number of atoms in molecules of compound.
