In another process in which 235 92U undergoes neutron bombardment, the following reaction occurs: 235 92U+10n→AZSr+143 54Xe+310n

Enter the isotope symbol for the strontium (Sr) nucleus in this reaction. Express your answer as an isotope.
17)Calculate the mass defect of the oxygen nucleus 16 8O. The mass of neutral 16 8O is equal to 15.994914 atomic mass units. Express your answer in atomic mass units to four significant figures.

Answer:

_{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr}

Mass defect of the oxygen nucleus is:- 0.1370 amu

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Sr}+^{143}_{54}\textrm{Xe}+3^1_0\textrm{n}

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1  = A + 143 + 3

A = 90

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

92 + 0  = Z + 54 + 0

Z = 38

<u>Hence, the isotopic symbol of strontium is:- _{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr}</u>

The element given is:- _{8}^{16}\textrm{O}

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Also, atomic number of O = 8

Thus, the number of protons = 8

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

16 =  8 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 8

Mass of neutron = 1.008665 amu

Mass of proton = 1.007825 amu

Calculated mass = Number of protons*Mass of proton + Number of neutrons*Mass of neutron

Thus,  

Calculated mass = (8*1.007825 + 8*1.008665) amu = 16.13192 amu

Given, mass of the atom = 15.994914 amu

Mass defect = Δm = |16.13192 - 15.994914| amu = 0.137006 amu

<u>Mass defect of the oxygen nucleus is:- 0.1370 amu</u>

Answer:

less than 5 centimeters because it is a nonvascular plant

Explanation:

Mosses are a group of plants under the division Bryophyta. They are said to be the most primitive plant life in existence as they lack true roots, stems and leaves. They also lack vascular system, hence, they are regarded as non-vascular plants. They usually grow in very small sizes (about 0.2 - 10cm).

According to this question, Penny bought a club moss plant for her water garden and needs to know how tall the plant will grow so she know how much space it will need. Since it is a miss plant that lacks vascular tissues i.e. nonvascular, it will likely grow less than 5 centimeters in height.

Describe how a chemical change follows the law of conservation of matter.<br> give examples pls
Paha777 [63]

Explanation:

In any chemical change, one or more initial substances change into a different substance or substances. ... According to the law of conservation of matter, matter is neither created nor destroyed, so we must have the same number and kind of atoms after the chemical change as were present before the chemical change

Example:

The carbon atom in coal becomes carbon dioxide when it is burned. The carbon atom changes from a solid structure to a gas but its mass does not change.
