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

Answer:

The answer is: false alarm

Explanation:

The "Signal Detection Theory" is <u>one of the theories used when it comes to psychology (particularly, perception and sensation</u>). When a person faces a <em>situation (stimulus or signal)</em> that he thinks is confusing, he can make a decision out of it.

If signals are present, this allows the person to decide whether it is present or absent. So, the outcome are hits or misses. When a signal is not present, the person still can decide whether it is present or absent. So, the outcome are "false alarms"<em> (if he decides its present) </em>or "correct rejection" <em>(if he decides its absent).</em>

In the situation above, Peter hasn't been to India. Thus, he doesn't know how it is to live in India nor the weather and culture in the country. So, in this situation, the signal is not present. However, Peter decides that the signal is present <em>(according to his perception)</em> and thus, he continued to go to India. However, he was disappointed with his decision. This kind of outcome is called "false alarm."

Thus, this explains the answer.

Plastics, synthetic fabrics, and synthetic rubber are composed of chemicals that are derived from
SVEN [57.7K]
Petroleum Products

Petroleum and its products are mainly composed of carbon polymers (chains), as the backbone, with different structural and functional groups. Plastic, for example, is made of polypropylene and polybutylene which is mainly made of carbon atoms, whose monomers are linked in a chain to form polymers that make up the products.
Synthetic rubber on the other hand is made of copolymers of carbon and other addictives such as styrene. Synthetic fiber is made of nylon that is composed of a copolymer between carboxylic acid and amides.
