Answer:

Option C (nuclear binding energy) is the appropriate choice.

Explanation:

At either the nuclear scale, the nuclear binding energy seems to be the energy needed to remove and replace a structure of the atom itself into the characterize elements (to counteract the intense nuclear arsenal).
Nuclear warheads (bargaining power) bind everything together neutrons as well as protons within an elementary particle.

Some other options in question aren't relevant to the particular instance. So that the option preceding will also be the right one.

The mole is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of particles as exactly 12 g of C-12. The amu is def

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Because it wouldn't make any sense

Explanation:

First of all, I think it's important to highlight the definition of isotope.

Isotope (Wikipedia): Variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number...

This means that two isotopes are the same element but have different net mass per atom, due to the different number of neutrons.

Therefore, it's important to make the definition on the same isotope so that the proportion is equal. If the definition would be made on different isotopes, the proportion wouldn't have any sense. Let me be clear with this example:

mass in grams of a C-12 atom = 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g --> this is the mass of a single C atom.

By definition --> 1 mol of anything = 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 particles of anything

Therefore, we know how much a single C atom weights. How many grams do you think that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C (i.e a mol of C) could weight??

1 single C atom ----------------------------- 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C ------------ 12.006 g !!

These 12 g is the same quantity than above! Therefore, 1 mol of C weights 12 g. If the definition were made with 13 g of C-13 (the other C isotope), these numbers will not be the same --> There would be a contradiction.

Regarding the second question, we need to search Ne-20 atomic mass in grams --> 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g

Hence, if we follow the same rule, the amu would be 1/12 of Ne-20.

[ 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g ] / 12 = 2.79 ^ -24 g

Gaseous methane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 9.6 g of methane is

lianna [129]

Answer:

21.6 g

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

First we convert the given masses of both reactants into moles, using their respective molar masses:

9.6 g CH₄ ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.6 mol CH₄

64.9 g O₂ ÷ 32 g/mol = 2.03 mol O₂

0.6 moles of CH₄ would react completely with (2 * 0.6) 1.2 moles of O₂. As there are more O₂ moles than required, O₂ is the reactant in excess and CH₄ is the limiting reactant.

Now we calculate how many moles of water are produced, using the number of moles of the limiting reactant:

0.6 mol CH₄ * $\frac{2molH_2O}{1molCH_4}$ = 1.2 mol H₂O

Finally we convert 1.2 moles of water into grams, using its molar mass:

1.2 mol * 18 g/mol = 21.6 g

At 500 K the reaction 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ 2 NOCl(g) has Kp = 51 In an equilibrium mixture at 500 K, the partial pressure of NO is

Aleks [24]

Answer:

p3=0.36atm (partial pressure of NOCl)

Explanation:

2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ 2 NOCl(g) Kp = 51

lets assume the partial pressure of NO,Cl2 , and NOCl at eequilibrium are P1 , P2,and P3 respectively

$Kp=\frac{[NOCl]^{2} }{[NO]^{2} [Cl_2] }$

$Kp=\frac{[p3]^{2} }{[p1]^{2} [p2] }$

p1=0.125atm;

p2=0.165atm;

p3=?

Kp=51;

On solving;

p3=0.36atm (partial pressure of NOCl)

When magnesium combines with oxygen, the reaction involves

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

When Magnesium (Mg) reacts with oxygen (O), magnesium oxide is formed.

This reaction is spontaneous and occurs with oxidation number +2 of magnesium and oxidation number -2 of oxygen. It is an ionic union, so magnesium transfers its electrons to oxygen.

We conclude that the correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.
