Helium atom has an atomic mass of 4 u and two protons in its nucleus. How many neutrons does it have?
Atomic mass of Helium = 4u
Atomic mass of an atom = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
4 = 2 + no. of neutrons
no. of neutrons = 4 - 2 = 2
Helium has 2 neutrons.

A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
