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)

Select the name of the element with a condensed ground-state electron configuration of [kr] 5s14d7.
Vilka [71]

elements have equal number of protons and neutrons

the condensed format is when the closest noble gas with the closest electron configuration is given, this closest noble gas atomic number should be lesser than the atoms atomic number

atomic number of Kr is 36

1 electron in 5s subshell and 7 electrons in 4d subshell.

there's a total of 36 + 1 + 7 = 44 electrons

atomic number of the atom is 44

element with atomic number 44 is Ruthenium - Ru

answer is Ru

padilas [110]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C. The specific latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

A. The specific latent heat of vaporization  Specific latent heat of vaporization indicates the transition from liquid to vapor, but we are not looking for this definition. This answer is wrong.

B. The specific heat indicates the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of water 1°C, so this answer is wrong.

C. The specific latent heat of fusion . This heat indicate the transition from solid ie to liquid, so this is the right answer.

D. The internal energy measures the energy of the molecules of a substance, so this answer is wrong.

Coal containing 15.0% H2O, 2.0% S and 83.0% C by mass is burnt with the stoichiometric amount of air in a furnace. What is the m
devlian [24]

Answer:

This is a coal combustion process and we will assume

Inlet coal amount = 100kg

It means that there are

15kg of H2O, 2kg of Sulphur and 83kg of Carbon

Now to find the mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust?

Molar mass of S = 32kg/kmol

Initial moles n  of S = 2/32 = 0.0625kmols

Reaction:  S + O₂ = SO₂

That is 1 mole of S reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to give 1 mole of SO₂

Then, it means for 0.0625 kmoles of S, we will have 0.0625 kmole of SO2 coming out of the exhaust

The mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust=0.0625kmols

How many atoms are in 1.204x10^22 moles of arsenic?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

<h2>0.02 moles </h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

We have

n =  \frac{1.204 \times  {10}^{22} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }    \\  = 0.02

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.02 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you
