The atomic number for Pb is 82
∴ Pb has 82 protons and 206-82 = 14 protons
The actual mass of Pb nuclei is
=(82 × mass of the proton) + (124 × mass of neutron)
=(82× 1.00728) + (124 × 1.008664) amu
= 207.6713 amu
The mass of lead which is given is 205.9744 amu
∴mass defect is
m = 207.6713 - 205.9744 = 1.6969 amu
=1.6969 × 1.66054 × 10⁻²⁷kg
=2.818 × 10⁻²⁷kg
The binding energy is E = mc²
C is the speed of light in vacuum = 2.9979 × 10⁸m/s
∴ E = 2.532 × 10×⁻¹⁰ J/mol
= 2.532 × 10⁻¹⁰ × 6.023 × 10²³ J/mol 
= 1.53811 × 10¹⁴ J/mol

What is created when an acid is mixed with a base?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

If you mix equal amounts of a strong acid and a strong base, the two chemicals essentially cancel each other out and produce a salt and water. Mixing equal amounts of a strong acid with a strong base also produces a neutral pH (pH = 7) solution.

Given the following equation: 2K + Cl2 -> 2KCl How many grams of KCl is produced from 4.00 g of K and excess Cl2?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

42.65g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of K = 4g

Unknown: Mass of KCl

Solution:

  Complete equation of the reaction:

              2K + Cl₂ → 2KCl

To solve this problem, we know that the reactant in short supply is potassium K and this dictates the amount of products that would be formed. The chlorine gas is in excess and we can't use it to determine the amount of product that would form.

Now, we work from the known to the unknown. Since we know the mass of K given in the reaction, we can simply find the molar relationship between the reacting potassium and the product. We simply convert the mass to mole and compare to the product. From there we can find the mass of KCl that would be produced.

Calculating number of moles of K

      Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

        Number of moles of K =  \frac{4}{39} = 0.103mol

From the given reaction equation:

   2 moles of K will produce 2 moles of KCl

 Therefore 0.103mol of K will produce 0.103mol of KCl

To find the mass of KCl produced,

   Mass of KCl = number of moles of KCl x molar mass

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5gmol⁻¹

Mass of KCl = 0.103 x 74.5 = 42.65g

A client has experienced excessive losses of bicarbonate and has subsequently developed an acid–base imbalance. How will this lo
IRISSAK [1]

The kidneys will excrete increased quantities of acid.

Explanation:

The kidneys will excrete excess H+ ions in the blood (remember H+ ions are responsible for acidity) until the acid-base balance is restored in the blood. Bicarbonates, on the other hand, will be aggressively  reabsorbed by the renal tubules as the excess H+ are being excreted.

The acid base balance is mainly determined by the quantities of H⁺ and HCO₃⁻ ions in teh blood. These ions come from the dissociation of carbonic acid formed when carbon dioxide from tissues is dissolved in blood plasma.

These biological compounds are nonpolar and insoluble in water:
juin [17]
The biological compounds that are nonpolar and insoluble in water are lipids. It is a group of molecules that are naturally occurring which includes sterols, waxes, fats, fat-soluble vitamins and the like. These molecules are nonpolar molecules so basically the cannot be dissolved in a polar solvent like water.

A newly discovered element, Z, has two naturally occurring isotopes. 90.3 percent of the sample is an isotope with a mass of 267
blsea [12.9K]
atomic mass=percentage of isotope a * mass of  isotope a + percentage of isotope b * mass of  isotope b+...+percentage of isotope n * mass of isotope n.

Data:
mass of isotope₁=267.8 u
percentage of isotope₁=90.3%

mass of isotope₂=270.9 u
percentage of isotope₂=9.7%

Therefore:

atomic mass=(0.903)(267.8 u)+(0.097)(270.9 u)=
=241.8234 u + 26.2773 u≈268.1 u

Answer: the mass atomic of this element would be 268.1 u
