Answer:

The binding energy per nucleon = 1.368*10^-12  (option D)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

The mass of a proton is 1.00728 amu

The mass of a neutron is 1.00867 amu

The mass of a cobalt-60 nucleus is59.9338 amu

Step 2: Calculate binding energy

The mass defect = the difference between the mass of a nucleus and the total mass of its constituent particles.

Cobalt60 has 27 protons and 33 neutrons.

The mass of 27 protons = 27*1.00728 u = 27.19656 u

The mass of 33 neutrons = 33*1.00867 u = 33.28611 u

Total mass of protons + neutrons = 27.19656 u + 33.28611 u = 60.48267 u

Mass of a cobalt60 nucleus = 59.9338 amu

Mass defect = Δm = 0.54887 u

ΔE =c²*Δm

ΔE = (3.00 *10^8 m/s)² *(0.54887 amu))*(1.00 g/ 6.02 *10^23 amu)*(1kg/1000g)

Step 3: Calculate binding energy per nucleon

ΔE = 8.21 * 10^-11 J

8.21* 10^-11 J / 59.9338 = 1.368 *10^-12

The binding energy per nucleon = 1.368*10^-12  (option D)

Chemical reaction when chromium metal is immersed in an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) chloride.
Marrrta [24]

2Cr + 3CoCl_2→ 2CrCl_3 + 3Co

Explanation:

  • The products formed are chromic chloride and cobalt.

        Chromium + Cobaltous Chloride = Chromic Chloride + Cobalt

  • Type  of reaction is Single Displacement (Substitution) which is there is a displacement of one atom.

Reactants used in the reaction are -

  • Chromium(Cr)
  • Cobaltous Chloride (CoCl_2)

Products formed in the reaction are -

  • Chromic Chloride(CrCl_3)
  • Cobalt (Co)

Hence, the chemical reaction is as follows -

  • Cr + CoCl_2 →CrCl_3 + Co

For balancing the above chemical equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of chromium and of 3 in front of cobalt(II)chloride on right-hand-side while of 2 in front of chromium chloride and of 3 in front of carbon monoxide on left-hand-side of the equation.

Hence, the balanced equation is -

2Cr + 3CoCl_2→ 2CrCl_3 + 3Co

For the following reaction, identify the element that was oxidized, the element that was reduced, and the reducing agent. Give a
Volgvan

<span>For this reaction, oxidation number of Carbon in CO would be +2 while oxidation number of carbon in CO2 would be +4 and so this means that carbon has oxidized. Oxidation number of nitrogen in NO is +2. While oxidation number of nitrogen in N2 is 0 so this means that nitrogen had reduced. The reducing agent is the one which provides electrons by oxidizing itself so in this case; CO is the reducing agent while the C in CO oxidized to produce electrons. </span><span>I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query about and it will be able to help you, and if you’d like, feel free to ask another question.</span>

What are some milk products made from lactic acid fermentation?
Nadusha1986 [10]
The presence of lactic acid, produced during the lactic acid fermentation is responsible for the sour taste and for the improved microbiological stability and safety of the food. This lactic acid fermentation is responsible for the sour taste of dairy products such as cheese, yoghurt and kefir.
1.<span>Western world: yogurt, sourdough breads, sauerkraut, cucumber pickles and olives.
2.</span><span>Middle East: pickled vegetables.
3.</span><span>Korea: kimchi (fermented mixture of Chinese cabbage, radishes, red pepper, garlic and ginger)
4.</span><span>Russia: kefir.
5.</span><span>Egypt: laban rayab and laban zeer (fermented milks), kishk (fermented cereal and milk mixture)

In a titration of 0.35 M HCl and 0.35 M NaOH, how much NaOH should be added to 45.0 ml of HCl to completely neutralize the acid?
Bezzdna [24]
It would be the same amount. So, 45 ml of NaOH is required to be added to the 45 ml of HCI to neutralize the acid fully. Here is a brief calculation:

Firstly, here is your formula: M(HCI) x V(HCI) = M(NaOh) x V(NaOH) 
With the values put in: 0.35 x 45 = 0.35 x V(NaOH) 
= 45 ml. 
There is 45 ml of V(NaOH)

Let me know if you need anything else. :)
