A plot of binding energy per nucleon Eb A versus the mass number (A) shows that nuclei with a small mass number have a small bin

ding energy per nucleon, as the mass number increases the binding energy per nucleon increases, and the value for the binding energy per nucleon has a maximum value for nuclei with a mass number around 60. Verify that this is the case by determining the binding energy per nucleon for each of the following four nuclei. (Let the mass of a proton be 1.0078 u, the mass of a neutron be 1.0087 u, the mass of 6He be 6.0189 u, the mass of 8Li be 8.0225 u, the mass of 62Ni be 61.9283 u, and the mass of 115In be 114.9039 u. Enter your answers in MeV and to at least three significant figures.) (a) 6He MeV (b) 8Li MeV (c) 62Ni MeV (d) 115In MeV

Answer:

6He =   4.90 MeV/Nucleon

8Li =     5.18  MeV / Nucleon

62Ni =   8.82 MeV / Nucleon

115 In =  8.54 MeV / Nucleon

Explanation:

Our strategy here is to remember that when the mass of a given nuclei is calculated from the sum of the mass of its  protons and neutrons, this mass is greater than  the actual  value . This is the mass defect.

Now this mass defect we can convert to energy  by utilizing Einstein´s equation, E = mc².This is  the binding energy.

For 6He with actual mass 6.0189 u ( He has Z = 2, that is 2 protons )

mass protons =   2 x 1.0078 u  =  2.0516 u

mass neutrons = 4 x 1.0087 u  =  4.0348 u

predicted mass = (2.0516 + 4.0348) u = 6.0504 u

mass defect = (6.0504 - 6.0189) u = 0.0315 u

Now we need to convert this mass expressed in atomic mass units to kilograms ( 1 u = 1.66054 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg )

0.0315 u x 1.66054 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg =5.231 x 10⁻²⁹ Kg

E =5.231x 10⁻²⁸ Kg x (3 x 10⁸ m/s )² = 4.707 x 10⁻¹²J

Finally we will convert this energy in Joules to eV

E = 4.707 x 10⁻¹²  J x 6.242 x 10¹⁸ eV/J = 2.94 x 10⁷ eV = 29.4 MeV

E per nucleon for 6He = 29.4 MeV / 6 =4.90 MeV / Nucleon

Now the calculations for the rest of the nuclei are performed in similar manner with the following results:

8Li = 5.18 MeV / Nucleon

62Ni = 8.82 MeV / Nucleon

115 In =  8.54 MeV / Nucleon

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

0.5 M

Explanation:

We have to start with the <u>reaction</u> between NaOH and CH3COOH:

CH_3COOH~+~NaOH->CH_3COONa~+~H_2O

We will have a <u>1:1 ratio</u> between the acid and the base. The next step then would be the calculation of the <u>moles of NaOH</u> and his convertion to <u>moles of CH3COOH</u>.

20~mL~\frac{1~L}{1000~mL} ~=~0.02~L

mol~=~0.1~M*0.02~L=0.02~mol~NaOH

0.02~mol~NaOH~\frac{1~mol~CH_3COOH}{1~mol~NaOH}=~0.02~mol~CH_3COOH

The final step is the calculation of the <u>concentration of the acid</u>.

M=\frac{0.02~mol~CH_3COOH}{0.04~L}=~0.5~M

Due to the Ka value we can use the acetic acid as a <u>strong acid</u>.

The Weak Ionization constant (Ka) for HCOOH is equal to:<br><br><br> Please help me lol
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][HCOO^-]}{[HCOOH]}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the weak ionization reaction for formic acid is:

HCOOH(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+HCOO^-(aq)

In such a way, we simply recall the law of mass action in order to represent the weak ionization constant, Ka, for such process, by taking into account that the concentration of products is divided over the concentration of reactants as shown below:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][HCOO^-]}{[HCOOH]}

Best regards.
