<u>Answer:</u> Some of the mass gets converted in the form of energy related to mass.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass defect is defined as the difference in the mass of an isotope and the mass number of an atom. Equation representing mass defect is:

$\Delta m=[(n_p\times m_p)+(n_n\times m_n)]-M$

where,

$\Delta m$ = mass defect of an atom

$n_p$ = number of protons

$m_p$ = mass of one proton

$n_n$ = number of neutrons

$m_n$ = mass of one neutron

M = mass number

The mass number of an atom (mass of nucleus) is always less than the isotopic mass (total mass of its nucleons) because energy is released when nucleus gets formed. This energy is related to mass of the nucleus and is known as binding energy.

Hence, some of the mass gets converted in the form of energy related to mass.

How much energy in joules is released when 18.5 grams of copper cools from 285 °C<br> down to 45 °C

nadya68 [22]

Answer: 1709.4 Joules

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) released on cooling a heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since Q = ?

M = 18.5 grams

Recall that the specific heat capacity of copper C = 0.385 J/g.C

Φ = 285°C - 45°C = 240°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

Q = 18.5grams x 0.385 J/g.C x 240°C

Q = 1709.4 Joules

Thus, 1709.4 Joules is released when copper is cooled.

(b) The conductivity of a 0.01 mol dm–3 solution of a monobasic organic acid in water is 5.07 × 10–2 S m–1. If the molar conduct

Zarrin [17]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ (NaCl) = $1.264 \times 10^{-2}$

$\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ (H-O=C-ONO) = $1.046 \times 10^{-2}$

$\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ (HCl) = $4.261 \times 10^{-2}$

Conductivity of monobasic acid is $5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}$

Concentration = 0.01 $mol/dm^{3}$

Therefore, molar conductivity ( $\Lambda_{m}$ ) of monobasic acid is calculated as follows.

$\Lambda_{m} = \frac{conductivity}{concentration}$

= $\frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{0.01 mol/dm^{3}}$

= $\frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{0.01 mol \times 10^{3}}$

= $5.07 \times 10^{-3} S m^{2} mol^{-1}$

Also, $\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ = $\Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(HCl)} + \Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(H-O=C-ONO)} - \Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(NaCl)}$

= $4.261 \times 10^{-2} + 1.046 \times 10^{-2} - 1.264 \times 10^{-2}$

= $4.043 \times 10^{-2} S m^{2} mol^{-1}$

Relation between degree of dissociation and molar conductivity is as follows.

$\alpha = \frac{\Lambda_{m}}{\Lambda^{o}_{m}}$

= $\frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{4.043 \times 10^{-2} S m^{2} mol^{-1}}$

= 0.1254

Whereas relation between acid dissociation constant and degree of dissociation is as follows.

K = $\frac{c \times \alpha^{2}}{1 - \alpha}$

Putting the values into the above formula we get the following.

K = $\frac{c \times \alpha^{2}}{1 - \alpha}$

= $\frac{0.01 \times (0.1254)^{2}}{1 - 0.1254}$

= $0.017973 \times 10^{-2}$

= $1.7973 \times 10^{-4}$

Hence, the acid dissociation constant is $1.7973 \times 10^{-4}$ .

Also, relation between $pK_{a}$ and $K_{a}$ is as follows.

$pK_{a} = -log K_{a}$

= $-log (1.7973 \times 10^{-4})$

= 3.7454

Therefore, value of $pK_{a}$ is 3.7454.
