To solve this question, let us first calculate how much all the nucleons will weigh when they are apart, that is: 
<span>Mass of 25 protons = 25(1.0073) = 25.1825 amu </span>

Mass of neutrons = (55-25)(1.0087) = 30.261 amu 

So, total mass of nucleons = 30.261+25.1825 = 55.4435 amu 

<span>Now we subtract the mass of nucleons and mass of the Mn nucleus:
55.4435 - 54.938 = 0.5055 amu 

This difference in mass is what we call as the mass defect of a nucleus. Now we calculate the binding energy using the formula:</span>

<span> E=mc^2 </span>

<span>But first convert mass defect in units of SI (kg):
Δm = 0.5055 amu = (0.5055) / (6.022x10^26) 
<span>Δm = 8.3942x10^-28 kg</span>

Now applying the formula, 
E=Δm c^2 
E=(8.3942x10^-28)(3x10^8)^2 
E=7.55x10^-11 J</span>

 

Convert energy from Joules to mev then divide by total number of nucleons (55):

E = 7.55x10^-11 J * (6.242x10^12 mev / 1 J) / 55 nucleons

<span>E = 8.57 mev / nucleon</span>

In an accident, a solution containing 2.5 kg of nitric acid was spilled. Two kilograms of Na2CO3 was quickly spread on the area
storchak [24]

First we must write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction

Na_2CO_3 _(_a_q_)+ 2HNO_3_(_a_q_) \implies 2NaNO_3_(_s_) + CO_2_(_g_) + H_2O_(_l_)

The mole ratio for the reaction between HNO_3 and Na_2CO_3 is 1:2. This means 1 moles of Na_2CO_3 will neutralize 2 moles HNO_3. Now we find the moles of each reactant based on the mass and molar mass.

2500g HNO_3 \times \frac{mol}{63.01g\ HNO_3} = 39.67 mol\ HNO_3

2000g\ Na_2CO_3 \times \frac{mol}{105.99g \ Na_2CO_3} = 18.87 mol\ Na_2CO_3

\frac{18.87 mol Na_2CO_3}{39.67\ HNO_3} = \frac{1 molNa_2CO_3}{2 mol HNO_3}

The Na_2CO_3 was enough to neutralize the acid because 18.87:39.67 is the same as 1:2 mol ratio.

In an estuary, _____.
lapo4ka [179]

B; Seawater mixes with freshwater so the water has intermediate salinity

Explanation:

In an estuary, seawater mixes with freshwater so the water has intermediate salinity. Estuaries are usually located in transitional environments.

  • Estuary is the wide part of a river where it nears the sea.
  • This is called a transitional zone.
  • Water from continental rivers usually fresh are brought in close contact with ocean water that is salty.
  • The water here is said to be brackish as it is intermediate between salt and seawater.
  • Organisms living in such terrain must be be well adapted to changing salinity.

An iron bar at 200c is placed in thermal contact with an identical iron bar at 120c in an isolated system
Step2247 [10]

Conduction: In the conduction, the heat is transferred from the hotter body to the colder body until the temperature on both bodies are equal.

In thermal equilibrium, there is no heat transfer as the heat is transferred till the temperature on the bodies are not same.

In the given problem, an iron bar at 200°C is placed in thermal contact with an identical iron bar at 120°C in an isolated system. After 30 minutes, the thermal equilibrium is attained. Then, the temperature on both iron bars are equal.Both iron bars are at 160°C in an isolated system.

But in an open system, the temperatures of the iron bars after 30 minutes would be less than 160°C. There will be heat lost to the surrounding. The room temperature is 25°C. There will be exchange of the heat occur between the iron bars and the surrounding. But It would take more than 30 minutes for both iron bars to reach 160°C because heat would be transferred less efficiently.
