Answer: 12.18 u
Explanation: The average atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking the weighted average of the atomic masses of its stable isotopes.
In other words, each stable isotope will contribute to the average mass of the element proportionally to its abundance.
Explanation:
Monitor the temperature of the water with the thermometer. Stop heating the water once it nears the boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius. Add copper(II) sulfate and stir until the heated solution is saturated. When the solution is saturated, copper(II) sulfate will not dissolve anymore
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.
Answer:
4 valence electrons
Despite the fact that the word silicon has a ubiquitous affiliation with all things electronic, Si itself is not a good electrical conductor. It has 4 valence electrons, meaning that filling its outer shell it can form a very strong lattice with 4 neighboring Si atoms-with no un-bonded electrons remaining
he arsenic acid or arsenate hydrogen as it is also known to this compound (H 3 AsO 4 ) is the acid form of <span>ion </span>arsenate , AsO<span>4 </span>3- , one anion trivalent in which arsenic has an oxidation state of + 5. Chemically, arsenates behave in a similar way tophosphates .
There is another compound derived from this one that is the arsenious acid or arsenite of hydrogen
