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>

Which part of the mantle is still solid but flows like a heavy liquid
topjm [15]

The Earth is composed of four different layers. Many geologists believe that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials sank to the center and the lighter materials rose to the top. Because of this, the crust is made of the lightest materials (rock- basalts and granites) and the core consists of heavy metals (nickel and iron).

 

<span>The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The Outer and Inner Cores are hotter still with pressures so great that you would be squeezed into a ball smaller than a marble if you were able to go to the center of the Earth!!!!!!</span>

how does photosynthesis and respiration in plants influence the amount of co2 in the atmosphere during a year?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

An increase in the amount of CO2 well increase the rate of photosynthesis, Carbon dioxide concentration will directly affect the rate of photosynthesis as it is used in the photosynthesis reaction.Increased amount of CO2 will increase the rate of photosynthesis to a certain limit, after which a further increase in its amount will no longer increase the rate any further.

Hope this helps.

Cheers! :)

A sample of nitrogen gas had a volume of 500. mL, a pressure in its closed container of 740 torr, and a temperature of 25 °C. Wh
iren2701 [21]

Answer:  Thus the new volume of the gas is 530  ml

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas =  740 torr

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 760 torr

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 500 ml

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 25^oC=273+25=298K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 50^oC=273+50=323K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{740\times 500}{298}=\frac{760\times V_2}{323}

V_2=530ml

Thus the new volume of the gas is 530 ml
