A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons and finds a concentration of 21.0 gL⁻¹. The geochemist

also measures the concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes and finds an average concentration of 6.67 gL⁻¹.
Assuming the salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated was equal to the average salt concentration in nearby non-isolated lakes, calculate the percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated. Round each of your answers to significant digits.

Answer:

The percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated is 68.24%.

Explanation:

The concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parson = 21.0 g/L

= In 1 L of lake Parson  water = 21.0 g of salt

The concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes = 6.67  g/L

The salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated = 6.67 g/L

In 1 L of lake water = 6.67 g of salt

If 1 L of lake Parson  water has 6.67 g of salt. Then 21.0 grams of salt will be in ;

\frac{1}{6.67}\times 21.0 L = 3.15 L

Water evaporated = 3.15 L - 1 L = 2.15 L

The percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated:

\frac{2.15 L}{3.15 L}\times 100=68.25\%

A plot of binding energy per nucleon (Eb/ A) versus the mass number (A) shows that nuclei with a small mass number have a small
juin [17]

Answer:

a)   1.12 MeV / nucleon

b)   5.62 MeV / nucleon

c)  8.80 MeV / nucleon

d) 8.56 MeV / nucleon

we can conclude that the binding energy has a maximum value for nuclei with a mass around 60

Explanation:

Binding energy = ( Δm * 931.5 ) MeV

Binding energy per nucleon = Binding energy in / Number of nucleon

<u>a) ²H = 1 neutron , 1 proton = 2 nucleons </u>

Given that the theoretical mass = 2.0141 u

Actual mass = 1.0078 u + 1.0087 u = 2.0165 u

Δm  = 2.0165 u - 2.0141 u = 2.4 * 10^-3 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 2.4 * 10^-3  * 931.5 ) MeV / 2 nucleons

                                                  = 1.12 MeV / nucleon

<u>b) ⁷Li = 3 protons , 4 neutrons = 7 nucleons </u>

theoretical mass = 7.0160 u

Actual mass = ( 3 * 1.0078 ) + ( 4 * 1.0087 )  = 7.0582 u  

Δm  = ( 7.0582 u  - 7.0160 u  ) = 0.0422 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 0.0422 * 931.5 ) / 7

                                                  = 5.62 MeV / nucleon

<u>C) ⁶²Ni = 28 protons , 34 neutrons = 62 nucleons </u>

Theoretical mass = 61.9283 u

Actual mass = ( 28 * 1.0078 ) u + ( 34 * 1.0087 ) u

                    = 62.5142 u

Δm = 0.5859 u  

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 0.5859 * 931.5 ) / 62

                                                  = 8.80 MeV / nucleon

<u>D) ¹¹⁰Cd = 48 protons , 62 neutrons = 110 nucleons </u>

Theoretical mass = 109.9030 u

Actual mass = ( 48 * 1.0078 ) + ( 62 * 1.0087 )

                    = 110.9138 u

Δm  = ( 110.9138 - 109.9030 ) = 1.0108 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 1.0108 * 931.5 ) / 110

                                                  = 8.56 MeV / nucleon

hence we can conclude that the binding energy has a maximum value for nuclei with a mass around 60

A dose of aspirin of 5.0 mg per kilogram of body weight has been prescribed to reduce the fever of an infant weighing 8.5 pounds
Tanya [424]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

19 mg

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

dose = 5.0 mg/kg  

weight of infant = 8.5 pounds

Convert 8.5 pounds to kg: 8.5 pounds = 3.86 kg

Therefore;

The dose to give the infant is:  

= (5.0 mg/kg) x (3.86 kg)

= 19.3 mg  

<u>≈ 19 mg</u>
