what is the difference between material balance and mass balance..

Mass balance is also considered as material balance, but we
can do material balance by considering the molar flow rate
(kmol/hr)of the input and output material. When we do the
material balance considering the mass flow rate ( kg/hr)
then it is called mass balance.

Question 109 - (a) Acceptable wavefunction in quantum mechanics in the range of : negative infinity < x < positive infinity, vanishes at least at one boundary. Which of the following is the wavefunction or are the wavefunctions of acceptable theory : P = x, P = | x |, P = sin x, P = exp (-x), P = exp (-| x |)? State the reason. (b) Let linear momentum operator P = -ih d / dz. The wavefunction is S = exp (-ikz) where i x i = -1, k and h are constants. Find the linear momentum of such wavefunction by using the term P x S.
