Answer:

Take E(alpha particle energy) = 5.5 MeV (5.5x106x1.6x10-19)

If the charge on the lead nucleus is +82e(atomic number of lead is 82) = +82x1.6x10-19 C and the charge on the alpha particle is +2e = 2x1.6x10-19 C

Using dc = (1/4πεo)qQ/Eα we have

dc = [9x10^9x(2x1.6x10-19x82x1.6x10-19)]/5.5x10-13 = 6.67x10^-13m. = 6.67 x 10^-13 x 10^15 = 6.67 x 10^2fm

Note: 1meter = 10^15fentometer

Explanation:

This is well inside the atom but some eight nuclear diameters from the centre of the lead nucleus.

Carbon monoxide is 1. an atom, an element and a mixture. 2. a molecule, element and a pure substance. 3. an atom, a compound and
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (6).

Explanation:

A molecule is group of atoms of same or different kinds of element.

In carbon monoxide there is a single carbon atom and single oxygen atom. Hence, a molecule.

Compound is defined as a chemical specie which is made by the combination of different atoms.

As we can see from the chemical formula of carbon monoxide is made up of two atom of different elements that is carbon and oxygen.

A pure substance is defined as the substance which is formed by same or different type of atoms which are chemically combined in a fixed ratio by mass. They have definite set of properties.

C+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow CO

1 mole of carbon combined with 0.5 moles of oxygen gas to give carbon monoxide gas.

An atom has an average atomic mass of about 63.5 amu. What is the chemical symbol for the atom? Consult the periodic table.
bearhunter [10]
An atom has an average atomic mass of about 63.5 amu. 
<span>
1 amu is equal to 1 gram per mole

so 63.5 amu is just equal to 63.5 grams per mole or 63.5 g/mol
the answer is Cu or copper.

The pKa for a weak acid to be used in the buffer should be as close as possible to the desired pH. What if the pKa is not close
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

When pH = pKa, the ionizable compound in question (either acid or base) will be half protonated and half deprotonated

Explanation:

A convenient way of expressing the relative strength of an acid is by the value of its pKa, which makes it easy to see in small changes in pKa the changes associated with large variations in Ka. Small pKa values are equivalent to large Ka (dissociation constant) values, and as pKa decreases, the strength of the acid increases.

An acid will be stronger the lower its pKa and in a base it happens the other way around, which is stronger the higher its pKa.

Those dissociation constants are not fixed, they depend on other variables. For example, the dissociation constant changes at different temperatures. However, it maintains its value at the same temperature, before changes in the concentration of any of the species or even under the action of a catalyst.
