Answer:

Choice A: Approximately 5.23 \times 10^{-29} joules.

Explanation:

Apply the famous mass-energy equivalence equation to find the energy that correspond to the \rm 5.81\times 10^{-29} kilograms of mass.

E = m \cdot c^{2},

where

  • E stands for energy,
  • m stands for mass, and
  • c is the speed of light in vacuum.

The speed of light in vacuum is a constant. However, finding the right units for this value can simplify the calculations a lot. What should be the unit of c?

The mass given is in the appropriate SI unit:

Mass is in kilograms.

Thus, proceed with the speed of light in SI units. The SI unit for speed is meters per second. For the speed of light, c \approx \rm 3.00\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}.

Apply the mass-energy equivalence:

\begin{aligned} E &= m \cdot c^{2} \\ &= \rm 5.81\times 10^{-29}\; kg \times {\left(3.00\times 10^{8}\; m\cdot s^{-1}\right)}^{2}\\ &\approx \rm 5.23\times 10^{-12}\;kg\cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}.

The unit of energy is not in joules. Don't be alerted. Consider the definition of a joule of energy. One joule is the work done on an object when a force of one newton acts on the object in the direction of the force through the distance of one meter. (English Wikipedia.)

\rm 1\; J = 1\; N \times 1\; m.

However, a force of one newton is defined as the force required to accelerated an object with a mass of one kilogram (not gram) at a rate of one meter per second squared. (English Wikipedia.)

\begin{aligned}\rm 1\; J &= \rm 1\; N \times 1\; m\\ & = \rm \left(1\; kg\times 1\; m\cdot s^{-2}\right)\times 1\; m\\ &= \rm 1\; kg \cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

In other words, the mass defect here is also \rm 5.23\times 10^{-12}\; J.

Why would someone need to find the relative density of an object?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float. An object that has a higher density than the liquid it's in will sink. An object that has a lower density than the liquid it's in will float.

An atom of chlorine with a mass number of 37 contains __ protons and __ neutrons.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Its in the Explanation

Explanation:

Here's what I got.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to  

27

.

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to  

13

.

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have  

13

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have  

13

electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

mass number

=

no. of protons

+

no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 27 − 13 = 14

Your welcome :)

What type(s) of bonding would be expected for each of the following materials: brass (a copper-zinc alloy), rubber, barium sulfi
mr_godi [17]

The force of attraction that results in holding of atoms or ions together in a molecule or crystal is said be bonding.  Bond formation can take place by either attraction or transfer of electrons. There are single, double, and triple bonds.  There are many types of bonding namely:

Covalent (sharing of electrons takes place).

Ionic (transfer of electrons takes place).

Metallic (ionized atoms of metals and the sea of electrons around them).

  • Brass (a copper-zinc alloy)

Brass is an alloy of metal that is copper and zinc. Hence, the metallic bonding is present in the brass.

  • Rubber

It is a polymer whose monomer unit is isoprene, which is a covalent compound. The isoprene units are attached in repeated units to form rubber by covalent bonding.

  • Barium sulfide (BaS)

Due to the large electronegativity difference between barium and sulfur, barium sulfide is an ionic compound. Thus, ionic bonding is present in barium sulfide.

  • Solid xenon

Only xenon atoms are present in solid xenon which are interacted by weak Van der Waal's interactions.

  • Bronze

Bronze is an alloy of metal that is copper and tin. Hence, the metallic bonding is present in the brass.

  • Nylon

It is a polymer whose monomer unit is caprolactam, which is a covalent compound. The caprolactam units are attached in repeated units to form nylon by covalent bonding.

  • Aluminum phosphide (AlP)

Aluminum phosphide is a covalent compound and thus involves covalent bonding.
