Calculate the mass defect for oxygen-16 given this data. Round to the 5es001-1.jpg decimal place. mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen atom = 15.994914amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866amu

Unknown:

Mass defect = ?

From the periodic table, the number of the elementary particles in a neutral Oxygen atom is given below:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 8

Number of electrons = 8

Solution

The mass defect examines the difference between the actual mass of an atom and sum of masses of the nucleons.

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons have little to no weight compared with the nucleons.

To calculate the mass defect, we first know the mass of the nucleons first:

1 proton has a mass of 1.00728amu

8 protons will weigh: (8 x 1.00728)amu = 8.05824amu

For the neutrons:

1 neutron has a mass of 1.00866amu

8 neutrons will weigh: (8 x 1.00866)amu = 8.06928amu

Mass of the nucleons = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

= 8.05824amu + 8.06928amu

= 16.12752amu

The mass defect = mass of the nucleons - mass of the atom

= 16.12752amu - 15.994914amu

= 0.132606amu ≅ 0.13261amu to 5 decimal places

what probability do we have of obtaining a purple flower (Rr), when we combine two blue flowers (rr) in an incomplete Dominance

34kurt

Answer: none

Explanation:

If we have that the color characteristic is regulated by the dominant gene R, by crossing two blue flowers with the recessive gene r, no violet flower will be obtained, since the rule of incomplete dominance describes that phenotypes can be obtained intermediates of homozygous parents, however in the case, we only have 2 parents with the same recessive conditions, which do not contribute to generate the violet, to produce one of the parents should have a gene that expresses the color red

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

c. bone (osseous tissue)

Explanation:

The extracellular matrix of the bone tissue consists of an organic component and an inorganic component.

The organic component includes Collagen , proteoglycans and glycoprotiens, While the inorganic component contains calcium and phopsphorus. The cells are present in the lacunae situated betwen the lamellae and contain a number of oblong spaces.

It also contains blood vessels as a typical long bons is supplied by a nutrient artery , periosteal vessels and epiphyseal arteries.

Hence C is the right answer.
