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)

Consider the following balanced equation:3Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2Na3PO4(aq) → Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6NaNO3(aq)If 24.2 moles of Na3PO4(aq) reac
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

69.7% is percent yield

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

3Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2Na3PO4(aq) → Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6NaNO3(aq)

2 moles of Na3PO4 react producing 6 moles of NaNO3.

As 24.2 moles of Na3PO4 react, theoretical moles of NaNO3 produced are:

24.2 moles Na3PO4 * (6 moles NaNO3 / 2 moles Na3PO4) =

72.6 moles of NaNO3

As there are produced 50.6 moles of NaNO3, percent yield is:

50.6 moles NaNO3 / 72.6 moles NaNO3 =

<h3>69.7% is percent yield</h3>

NaClO3 &gt; NaCl + O2 <br> Balance
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Balancing Strategies: To balance this reaction it is best to get the Oxygen atoms on the reactant side of the equation to an even number. Once this is done everything else falls into place. Put a "2" in front of the NaClO3. Change the coefficient in front of the O2.

Is Acetaminophen ionic, molecular or organic compound
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Organic compound

Explanation:

Acetominophen's molecular formula is C8H9NO2. Right from the formula you can also see that the compound has C (carbon) in it, therefore making it an organic compound (in which the definition is that the compound contains carbon in it).
