An atom of sodium has a larger mass than an atom of neon. How is this possible when neon has so many more valence electrons?

The electrons contribute just about zero to the mass of an atom.
It takes more than 1,800 electrons to make the mass of one
proton or neutron.

The naturally occurring element with the most complex atom is
Uranium. That's element #92 , so a neutral uranium atom has
92 electrons. It would take almost exactly 20 times that many
electrons to add the mass of one proton or neutron to the atom!
(And no other element has that many electrons in an atom of it.)

The inductor in a radio receiver carries a current of amplitude 200 mA when a voltage of amplitude 2.4 V is across it at a frequ

zzz [600]

Answer:

The value of the inductance is 1.364 mH.

Explanation:

Given;

amplitude current, I₀ = 200 mA = 0.2 A

amplitude voltage, V₀ = 2.4 V

frequency of the wave, f = 1400 Hz

The inductive reactance is calculated;

$X_l = \frac{V_o}{I_o} \\\\X_l = \frac{2.4}{0.2} \\\\X_l =12 \ ohms$

The inductive reactance is calculated as;

$X_l = \omega L\\\\X_l = 2\pi fL\\\\L = \frac{X_l}{2 \pi f}$

where;

L is the inductance

$L = \frac{12}{2 \pi \times \ 1400} \\\\L = 1.364 \times \ 10^{-3} \ H\\\\L = 1.364 \ mH$

Therefore, the value of the inductance is 1.364 mH.

A typical nuclear fission power plant produces about 1.00 GW of electrical power. Assume the plant has an overall efficiency of

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg

Explanation:

electrical power produced = 1 GW = 1 × 10⁹ × (6.24151 × 10¹⁸ ) eV

= 6.24151× 10²¹ MeV/s

thermal energy = 0.420 * 250 = 105 MeV

$\dfrac{1 GW}{150 MeV}= \dfrac{6.24151\times 10^{21}}{105}$

= 5.94 × 10¹⁹ fission/second

=5.94 × 10¹⁹× 24 × 60 ×60)

= 5.13 × 10²⁴ fission/day

mu = 235.04393 × 1.660× 10 ⁻²⁷ = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ Kg

M = mu ×5.13 × 10²⁴

= 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ ×5.13 × 10²⁴

M = 2 kg(approx.)

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg
