Answer:

None of the options are correct. The correct answer is 30020J

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass (M) = 2000g

Initial temperature (T1) = 10°C

Final temperature (T2) = 29°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 - T1 = 29°C - 10°C = 19°C

Heat (Q) =?

Specific heat capacity (C) of granite = 0.79J/g°C

Applying the equation Q = MCΔT, the heat absorbed by the granite rock can be obtained as follow:

Q = MCΔT

Q = 2000 x 0.79 x 19

Q = 30020J

A gas cylinder contains exactly 15 moles of oxygen gas (O2). How many molecules of oxygen are in the cylinder? 4.01 × 1022 molec
kolezko [41]
Moles are used conveniently in chemistry especially in stoichiometric calculations involving reactions. The unit of mole is a collective term that holds 6.022×10^23 particles. These particles is a general term for any small units of matter including molecules, atoms and sub-particles. This ratio of 6.022×10^23 particles to 1 mole is known to be the Avogadro's number. Its exact number is actually <span>6.0221409</span>×10^23. We use this constant in our stoichiometric calculation as follows:

15 moles oxygen * (6.022×10^23 molecules/ 1 mole oxygen) = 9.033×10^24 molecules of oxygen

What does the frequency of a wave represent? A. the distance between two consecutive crests B. the number of wave cycles that pa
zepelin [54]

The frequency of a wave represents B. the number of wave cycles that pass through a specific point within a given time.

The distance between two consecutive crests and the length of a wave are the <em>wavelength</em>.

The distance between the highest and lowest points of a wave is <em>twice the amplitude</em>.

What is the nuclear binding energy for thorium-234? 2.78 × 10-10 J 3.36 × 10-14 J 1.67 × 1017 J 5.35 x 10-23 J
grin007 [14]
The correct option is A.
To calculate the binding energy, you have to find the mass defect first.
Mass defect = [mass of proton and neutron] - Mass of the nucleus
The molar mass of thorium that we are given in the question is 234, the atomic number of thorium is 90, that means the number of neutrons in thorium is 
234 - 90 = 144.
The of proton in thourium is 90, same as the atomic number.
Mass defect = {[90 * 1.00728] +[144* 1.00867]} - 234
Note that each proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and each neutron has the mass of 1.00867 amu.
Mass defect = [90.6552 + 145.24848] - 234 = 1.90368 amu.
Note that the unit of the mass is in amu, it has to be converted to kg
To calculate the mass in kg
Mass [kg] = 1.90368 * [1kg/6.02214 * 10^-26 = 3.161135 * 10^-27
To calculate the binding energy
E = MC^2
C = Speed of light constant = 2.9979245 *10^8 m/s2
E = [3.161135 * 10^-27] * [2.9979245 *10^8]^2
E = 2.84108682069 * 10^-10.
Note that we arrive at this answer because of the number of significant figures that we used.
So, from the option given, Option A is the nearest to the calculated value and is our answer for this problem.
