<span>No John Dalton made a fairly fundamental description of an atomic theory that still holds today for chemistry. In his theory, there are 4 things to consider 1. All matter is made of atoms, and atoms are indivisible and indestructible. * This right there makes the process described in the question impossible since the described process would require the destruction of copper and carbon, which is in violation of the first element of Dalton's theory. 2. All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties. 3. Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms. 4. A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms. * This also is in conflict with the process described in the question. Since the process is described as chemical, that eliminates nuclear methods just as fission, or fusion. Now the spirit of the theory remains true, but modern knowledge does make the details different. For instance, we know of isotopes, so #2 isn't strictly true any longer. We also know of nuclear reactions so #1 isn't completely true either. But in general, his theory is as useful today as it was two hundred years ago.</span>

What is the nuclear binding energy of an atom that has a mass defect of 5.0446
notsponge [240]

Answer:

<em>Option C: 4.54 x </em>10^{11}<em> KJ/mol of nuclei</em>

<em>Note: </em>Here in this question option C is not correctly put. It is 4.54 x10^{11} rather than 4.54 x 10^{-123}.

Explanation:

If mass defect is known, then nuclear binding energy can easily be calculated, here's how:

First step is to convert that mass defect into kg.

Mass defect = 5.0446 amu

Mass defect = 5.0466 x 1.6606 x 10^{-27}

Because 1 amu = 1.6606 x 10^{-27} Kg.

<em>Mass defect = 8.383 x </em>10^{-27}<em> kg.</em>

Now, we need to find out it's energy equivalent by using following equation:

Using the equation E = mc²:

where c= 3.00 x 10^{8} m/s²

E = (8.383 x 10^{-27}) x (3.00 x 10^{8})²

E = 7.54 x 10^{-10} J  this energy is in Joules but nuclear binding energy is usually expressed in KJ/mol of nuclei. Let's convert it:

(7.54 x 10^{-10} Joule/nucleus)x(1 kJ/1000 Joule)x(6.022 x 10^{23} nuclei/mol) =  

<em>4.54 x </em>10^{11}<em> kJ/mol of nuclei .</em>

E = <em>4.54 x </em>10^{11}<em> kJ/mol of nuclei .</em> So, this is the nuclear binding energy of that atom, which is option  C.

<em>Note:</em> Here in this question option C is not correctly put. It is 4.54 x10^{11} rather than 4.54 x 10^{-123}

How do you know the ph level of 10^-8
sergiy2304 [10]

pH=6.98

Explanation:

This is a very interesting question because it tests your understanding of what it means to have a dynamic equilibrium going on in solution.

As you know, pure water undergoes self-ionization to form hydronium ions, H3O+, and hydroxide anions, OH−.

2H2O(l]⇌H3O+(aq]+OH−(aq]→ very important!

At room temperature, the value of water's ionization constant, KW, is equal to 10−14. This means that you have

KW=[H3O+]⋅[OH−]=10−14

Since the concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions are equal for pure water, you will have

[H3O+]=√10−14=10−7M

The pH of pure water will thus be

pH=−log([H3O+])

pH=−log(10−7)=7

Now, let's assume that you're working with a 1.0-L solution of pure water and you add some 10

Answer:

Well, it could be B or D but I would say B.

Explanation:

The structure of an organelle is usually fit to its function so it is most likely B.

Hope this helps!
