The atomic mass of titanium is 48 u. Which statement about titanium and carbon is correct?

well, carbon is 12, so do the math

I must say that I don't think this a very good question.

1. Carbon isn't exactly 12 and Ti isn't exactly 48 so none of the choices is correct unless you're rounding the number to 12 and 48.
2. Nothing is mentioned about isotopes. WHICH C isotope is being used to compare?. WHICH Ti isotope? C has three isotopes ranging from 12 to 14 and Ti has five ranging from 46 to 53.

oops, I hit the wrong button. Ti has isotopes of 46, 47, 48, 49, 50.

Perhaps I've trashed the problem incorrectly. I see the problem DID show a number for Ti as 48 and no one would argue with rounding C to 12.00 from 12.01. Sorry about that. It's easy to get on my soap box today.

So whats the answer

1. The reactants and products have the same number of atoms of the same elements.

2. The mass of one titanium atom is equivalent to the mass of four carbon atoms
3. The atomic mass of the reactants equals the atomic mass of the product, and the product has the same number of atoms as the reactants.
4. 80 amu
5. A molecule with two atoms combined with a molecule with three atoms to produce a molecule with a mass of 84 u.

These are the answers, I just took the quick check.

the answer is 4 carbon atoms. bc 48/12=4

Amiyah is correct 100%. Thank you for the help.
