Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Braising means first of all fry a dish slightly and then cook it slowly in a closed vessel or dish. The vessel is close so that the liquid present inside it does not evaporates.
Also, Braising is done to mix the flavors of different liquids or spices appropriately.
Thus, we can conclude that as a cooking method, braising is valued for its ability to retain flavor.
The correct option is A.
To calculate the binding energy, you have to find the mass defect first.
Mass defect = [mass of proton and neutron] - Mass of the nucleus
The molar mass of thorium that we are given in the question is 234, the atomic number of thorium is 90, that means the number of neutrons in thorium is
234 - 90 = 144.
The of proton in thourium is 90, same as the atomic number.
Mass defect = {[90 * 1.00728] +[144* 1.00867]} - 234
Note that each proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and each neutron has the mass of 1.00867 amu.
Mass defect = [90.6552 + 145.24848] - 234 = 1.90368 amu.
Note that the unit of the mass is in amu, it has to be converted to kg
To calculate the mass in kg
Mass [kg] = 1.90368 * [1kg/6.02214 * 10^-26 = 3.161135 * 10^-27
To calculate the binding energy
E = MC^2
C = Speed of light constant = 2.9979245 *10^8 m/s2
E = [3.161135 * 10^-27] * [2.9979245 *10^8]^2
E = 2.84108682069 * 10^-10.
Note that we arrive at this answer because of the number of significant figures that we used.
So, from the option given, Option A is the nearest to the calculated value and is our answer for this problem.
Answer:
3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb
Explanation:
The acid equilibrium of a weak acid, HX, is:
HX + H₂O ⇄ X⁻ + H₃O⁺
Where Ka = [X⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HX]
And basic equilibrium of the conjugate base, is:
X⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HX
Where Kb = [OH⁻] [HX] / [X⁻]
To convert Ka to Kb we must use water equilibrium:
2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
Where Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]
Thus, we can obtain:
Kw = Ka*Kb
Solving for Kb:
Kw / Ka = Kb
1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2.76x10⁻⁸ =
3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb
Answer:
an alloy is a mixture of elements that has metallic properties
Explanation:
The cornea does not contain any blood vessels, but instead contains many nerve endings that make it extremely sensitive. That is why a scratch or a loose eyelash is so painful.
