Answer:
(a) 7.11 x 10⁻³⁷ m
(b) 1.11 x 10⁻³⁵ m
Explanation:
(a) The de Broglie wavelength is given by the expression:
λ = h/p = h/mv
where h is plancks constant, p is momentum which is equal to mass times velocity.
We have all the data required to calculate the wavelength, but first we will have to convert the velocity to m/s, and the mass to kilograms to work in metric system.
v = 19.8 mi/h x ( 1609.34 m/s ) x ( 1 h / 3600 s ) = 8.85 m/s
m = 232 lb x ( 0.454 kg/ lb ) = 105.33 kg
λ = h/ mv = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J·s / ( 105.33 kg x 8.85 m/s ) = 7.11 x 10⁻³⁷ m
(b) For this part we have to use the uncertainty principle associated with wave-matter:
ΔpΔx > = h/4π
mΔvΔx > = h/4π
Δx = h/ (4π m Δv )
Again to utilize this equation we will have to convert the uncertainty in velocity to m/s for unit consistency.
Δv = 0.1 mi/h x ( 1609.34 m/mi ) x ( 1 h/ 3600 s )
= 0.045 m/s
Δx = h/ (4π m Δv ) = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J·s / (4π x 105.33 kg x 0.045 m/s )
= 1.11 x 10⁻³⁵ m
This calculation shows us why we should not be talking of wavelengths associatiated with everyday macroscopic objects for we are obtaining an uncertainty of 1.11 x 10⁻³⁵ m for the position of the fullback.
Answer:
nuclear energy is the cleanest and safest energy source we have available and i agree with this statement for following reasons:
1. Nuclear power is generated by a controlled chain reaction involving the splitting of atoms. A modern nuclear power plant uses the intense heat created by this reaction to heat water and create steam, which turns a turbine and generates electricity. Whereas a coal-fired plant heats water by burning coal, a nuclear plant heats it by splitting atoms. This process is called nuclear fission.
2. Nuclear fission, in simple terms, occurs when an atom splits in two, releasing a massive amount of energy and several subatomic particles called neutrons. These neutrons, in turn, hit and split other atoms, beginning and sustaining the chain reaction. Reactor operators control this reaction in a variety of ways and thus regulate the amount of heat generated and energy produced.
3. The raw fuel for this process is the metal uranium, which must be enriched before it can be used for producing energy in commercial reactors. Enrichment is necessary because mined uranium ore is around 99.3 percent uranium-238, which, in today’s commercial power plants, does not readily split upon exposure to neutrons from the fission chain reaction, and thus makes poor fuel. The other 0.7 percent of mined uranium is uranium-235, which makes excellent fuel. The number refers to the atomic mass, or the total mass of protons and neutrons that make up the atomic nucleus. This difference in mass of the same element makes them two different isotopes of uranium. The enrichment process consists essentially of increasing the percentage of uranium-235 by decreasing the percentage (via removal) of uranium-238.

In general chemistry, isotopes are substances that belong to one specific element. So, they all have the same atomic numbers. But they only differ in the mass numbers, or the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In a nutshell, they only differ in the number of neutrons.
For Nickel, there are 5 naturally occurring isotopes. Their identities, masses and relative abundance are listed below
Isotope Abundance Atomic Mass
Ni-58 68.0769% <span>57.9353 amu
Ni-60 </span>26.2231% <span>59.9308 amu
Ni-61 </span>1.1399 % <span>60.9311 amu
Ni-62 </span>3.6345% <span>61.9283 amu
Ni-64 </span>0.9256% <span>63.9280 amu
To determine the average atomic mass of Nickel, the equation would be:
Average atomic mass = </span>∑Abundance×Atomic Mass
Using the equation, the answer would be:
Average atomic mass = 57.9353(68.0769%) + 59.9308(26.2231%) + 60.9311(1.1399%) + 61.9283(3.6345%) + 63.9280(0.9256%)
Average atomic mass = 58.6933 amu
Answer:
2 C Atoms
Explanation:
When you have coefficient of 2 next to a compound element, it indicates there are 2 of each compound element. In the compound element, there is one C Atom, and 2×1 is 2.
