Answer:

1)There is 2.68 * 10^-11 J of energy needed

2) The nuclear binding energy for 1 mol of Ne is 1.6 *10^13 J/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The nucleus of a21Ne atom has a amass of 20.98846 amu.

Step 2: Calculate number of protons and neutrons

The number of electrons and protons in an 21Ne atom = 10

The number of neutrons = 21 -10 =11

Step 3: mass of the atom

Mass of a proton = 1.00727647 u

Mass of a neutron = 1.0086649 u

The mass of the atom = mass of all neutrons + mass of protons

Mass of atom = 11*1.0086649 + 10*1.00727647 = 21.1680786 amu

Step 4: Calculate change of mass

The change in mass = Mass of atom - mass of neon

Δmass = 21.1680786 - 20.98846

Δmass = 0.1796186

Step 5: Calculate mass for a single nucleus

The change of mass for a single nucleus is = Δmass / number of avogadro

Δmass of nucleus = 0.1796186 / 6.022*10^23

Δmass of nucleus =2.98 * 10^-25 grams = 2.98 * 10^-28 kg

Step 6: Calculate energy to break a Ne nucleus

Calculate the amount of energy to break a Ne nucleus

ΔEnucleus = Δmass of nucleus * c²

⇒ with c = 2.9979 *10^8 m/s

ΔEnucleus = 2.98 * 10^-28 kg * (2.9979*10^8)² = 2.68 * 10^-11 J

What is the nuclear binding energy for 1 mol of Ne?

ΔE= ΔEnucleus * number of avogadro

ΔE= 2.68 * 10^-11 J * 6.022*10^23

ΔE= 1.6 *10^13 J/mol

What makes a question testable? Can someone help me on this pls it has to be either a 4-5 sentence! this is a science question.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

testable questions are answer through observation or an experiment that provides evidence that the questions connects to the scientific concepts rather the opinion feelings

therefore the question can be tested through observation or experiment

Identify the correct coefificients to balance it<br> -C3H8+O2 to -CO2 +-H2O

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Explanation:

${\rm ?\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Among the four species in this reaction, $\rm C_3H_8$ is species with the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of this compound is $1$ .

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Number of atoms on the left-hand side of the reaction:

$\rm C$ : $1 \times 3 = 3$ .
$\rm H$ : $1 \times 8 = 8$ .
$\rm O$ : not found yet.

By the conservation of atoms, the number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction should match those on the left-hand side. In this reaction, $\rm CO_2$ is the only product with carbon atoms, whereas $\rm H_2O$ is the only product with hydrogen atoms. These $3$ carbon atoms and $8$ hydrogen atoms would correspond to:

$3 / 1 = 3$ $\rm CO_2$ molecules, and
$8 / 2 = 4$ $\rm H_2O$ molecules.

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction:

$\rm C$ : $3 \times 1 = 3$ .
$\rm H$ : $4 \times 2 = 8$ .
$\rm O$ : $3 \times 2 + 4 \times 1 = 10$ .

The number of $\rm O$ atoms on the left-hand side should match those on the right-hand side. In this reaction, $\rm O_2$ is the only reactant with $\rm O\!$ atoms. These $10$ $\rm \! O$ atoms would correspond to:

$5$ $\rm O_2$ molecules.

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

#5.) Explain why the rock cycle is referred to as a "cycle".

Natalka [10]

The rock cycle is referred to as cycle because it repeats over and over again. The definition of cycle is a series of events that are regularly related in the same order. So with the rock cycle they stay in the same order and repeat.
Hope this helps :)
