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

1) Sodium hydroxide is deliquescent. A sample of 3.0 g was dissolved in 100 mL; 10 mL was titrated with 34.9 mL HCl 0.2 M. What
ELEN [110]

From the calculation, the percentage of water in the sodium hydroxide sample is 7%.

<h3>What is neutralization?</h3>

The term neutralization has to do with the reaction between an acid and a base to yiled salt and water.

Now we have  to apply the titration formula;

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

CA = concentration of acid

CB = concentration of base

VA = volume of acid

VB = volume of base

NA = number of moles of acid

NB = number of moles of base

The reaction equation is; HCl + NaOH ----->NaCl + H2O

CAVANB = CBVBNA

CB = CAVANB /VBNA

CB = 34.9 * 0.2 M * 1/10 * 1

CB = 0.698 M

Number of moles = Conncentration * volume

= 0.698 M * 100/1000 L = 0.0698 moles

Mass = Number of moles * molar mass

Mass =  0.0698 moles * 40 g/mol = 2.79 g

percent of NaOH = 2.79 g/ 3g * 100/1 = 93%

Percent of water = 100- 93 = 7%

The law of conversion states that mass is never created or destroyed. Explain how this law requires all chemical equations to be
ikadub [295]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter as applied to chemical reactions says that matter is neither created nor distroyed, only changed in form. This implies that the mass of substances going into a reaction process must equal the mass of products generated during the reaction process.

Empirically,

∑ mass reactants = ∑ mass products

One can test this idea after balancing a chemical equation by determining the sum of formula weights of reactants and products; then compare. If reaction was properly balanced, the total mass reactants = total mass of products.

Example:

Combustion of Methane =>  CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g)   =>  CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Equation Weights =>             16amu + 64amu <=> 44amu +  36amu

Mass Reactants = Mass Products  => 80amu <=> 80amu.

Which statement correctly pairs the climate factor with its effect on temperature? *
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

A region on top of a mountain is cooler than at the base.

Explanation:

Pressure and temperature have direct relationship with each other. With the decrease in pressure, the temperature decreases and vice versa. When the air rises in the atmosphere, the pressure starts to fall. The low pressure at the peak of the mountains tends to cause the fall in temperature. It is because of this reason that it is cooler at the top of the mountain while the temperature is less cool in the foothills.
