Answer:

The answer is: Law of superposition

Explanation:

In geochronology, the law of superposition is a fundamental principle given by the Danish scientist Nicolas Steno.

According to this law, in an undisturbed stratigraphic sequence,<u> the youngest strata is always found on the top of the sequence,</u> and the layers present below get progressively older as we go from the top to the bottom of the sequence. Thus, <u>the oldest strata is found at the bottom of the stratigraphic sequence.</u>

The mass of a proton is 1.00728 amu andthat of a neutron is 1.00867 amu. What is the binding energy pernucleon (in J) of a Co nu
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The binding energy per nucleon = 1.368*10^-12  (option D)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

The mass of a proton is 1.00728 amu

The mass of a neutron is 1.00867 amu

The mass of a cobalt-60 nucleus is59.9338 amu

Step 2: Calculate binding energy

The mass defect = the difference between the mass of a nucleus and the total mass of its constituent particles.

Cobalt60 has 27 protons and 33 neutrons.

The mass of 27 protons = 27*1.00728 u = 27.19656 u

The mass of 33 neutrons = 33*1.00867 u = 33.28611 u

Total mass of protons + neutrons = 27.19656 u + 33.28611 u = 60.48267 u

Mass of a cobalt60 nucleus = 59.9338 amu

Mass defect = Δm = 0.54887 u

ΔE =c²*Δm

ΔE = (3.00 *10^8 m/s)² *(0.54887 amu))*(1.00 g/ 6.02 *10^23 amu)*(1kg/1000g)

Step 3: Calculate binding energy per nucleon

ΔE = 8.21 * 10^-11 J

8.21* 10^-11 J / 59.9338 = 1.368 *10^-12

The binding energy per nucleon = 1.368*10^-12  (option D)

In a closed system containing three different gases as shown, X2 + Y2 2XY. Choose the TWO things that MUST happen as the volume
Kitty [74]

Answer:

3) The relative concentrations of each gas must remain constant.

4)The concentration of each gas will not change.

Explanation:

  • For the equilibrium system:

<em>X₂ + Y₂ ⇄ 2XY,</em>

The no. of moles of gases in each side is constant; there is 2 moles of gases at reactants side and 2 moles of gases at products side.

So, changing the volume will not affect on the equilibrium system.

<em>So, the right choice is:</em>

3) The relative concentrations of each gas must remain constant.

4)The concentration of each gas will not change.

Which series of atomic numbers represents the ordering of consecutive elements within the periodic table?
statuscvo [17]

Atomic number is same as the number of protons in the element which is further equal to the number of electrons. As the number of electrons increases in the element, the atomic number of the element also increases.

In periodic table, elements are arranged in the groups, and these groups are columns starting from 1 to 18, elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number. Elements are placed with difference of one atomic number.

First four elements present in the periodic table is:

He atomic number is one (1).

H atomic number is two (2).

Li atomic number is three (3).

Be atomic number is four (4).

Thus, the series of atomic numbers that represents the ordering of consecutive elements within the periodic table is the last option - 1, 2, 3, 4...

Which of the following statements is true?
Lera25 [3.4K]

The  statement  which is true is

metals  lose  electrons  to become cations

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • metals tends  to loss electrons to attain  noble gas  electrons  configuration.
  • When metal loses electrons they form a  positive charged ions.
  • The positively charged ion is known as  cations.
  • for  example  sodium metal (Na)  loses  1 electron to form   a cation with  a charge  of positive 1 ( Na^+)

"acid is responsible for the odor in rancid butter. a solution of 0.25 m butyric acid has a ph of 2.71. what is the ka for"
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:- The Ka for the acid is 1.53*10^-^5 .

Solution:- In general, monoprotic acid could be represented by HA. The dissociation equation for the ionization of HA is written as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

Now, we make the ice table for this equation as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

I 0.25 0 0

C -X +X +X

E (0.25 - X) X X

where, I stands for initial concentration, C stands for change in concentration and E stands for equilibrium concentration.

X is the change in concentration and from ice table it's same as the concentration of hydrogen ion that is calculated from given pH.

Ka = [H^+][A^-]\frac{1}{HA}

Where, Ka is the acid ionization constant. Let's plug in the values.

Ka = \frac{X^2}{0.25-X}

Let's calculate the value of X first using the equation:

pH = -log[H^+][/tex]

on taking antilog ob above equation we get:

[H^+]=10^-^p^H

[H^+]=10^-^2^.^7^1

[H^+] = 0.00195

So, X = 0.001195

Let's plug in this value of X in the equation:-

Ka=\frac{(0.00195)^2}{0.25-0.00195}

Ka=1.53*10^-^5

So, the value of Ka for butyric acid is 1.53*10^-^5 .
