Answer:

Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus (core) of an atom

Explanation:

Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe. There is enormous energy in the bonds that hold atoms together. Nuclear energy can be used to make electricity. ... Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electricity.

Mass defect for oxygen-16 = 0. 13261 amu How many kilograms does the mass defect represent? 1. 66 × 10-27 kg 2. 20 × 10 -28 kg 3

Zepler [3.9K]

Mass defect for oxygen-16 = 0. 13261 amu, in the kilograms the mass defect equals to 2.20 × 10⁻²⁸ kg.

<h3>What is mass defect?</h3>

Mass defect is the difference between the mass of of an whole atom and the combined mass of its individual particles present in that atom.

We know that, 1 amu = 1.6 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

Given that, mass defect for oxygen-16 = 0.13261 amu

To calculate this defect in terms of kilograms, we have to convert into kg unit as:

0.13261 amu = 0.13261 amu × 1.6 × 10⁻²⁷ kg/amu

0.13261 amu = 2.20 × 10⁻²⁸ kg

Hence option (2) is correct.

Answer:

In the 1770s, the English clergyman Joseph Priestley (who is credited with the discovery of O2) established the production of oxygen by vegetables recognizing that the process was, apparently, the inverse of animal respiration, which consumed such chemical element.

Explanation:

In 1772, Joseph Priestley in his Recherches sur diversces especes d'air differentiated the air of animal respiration from that emitted by vegetables in the presence of light. Of the latter, which he called "dephlogistic air", he highlighted his purifying property of the environment indicating that: plants far from affecting the air in the same way as animal respiration, produce the opposite effects, and tend to preserve the sweet and healthy atmosphere , when it becomes harmful as a result of the life and breathing of the animals or their death and their rot.

In 1780, Jean Ingeshousz in his Experiences sur les vegetaux completed and reaffirmed the observations of Joseph Priestley. At the same time, he could deny Charles Bonnet's hypothesis, by demonstrating that the air expelled from the leaves comes from inside, and that the stimulating factor of the gaseous emission was not the heat produced by the sun, but the intensity of the light .

It was, finally, Jean Senebier that between 1782 and 1784, found that the "fixed air" dissolved in the water favors the vegetation. From these observations, he hypothesized that "fixed air" (carbon dioxide) is absorbed by the plants, which take it from the atmosphere with the humidity it has and in which it is mixed. Once this gas has been captured, both from the atmosphere and from the ground, it is decomposed in the presence of light by the leaves, releasing the "vital air" (oxygen) and leaving the carbon in the plant.

Thus, at the end of the century the participation of the atmosphere in plant dynamics was already seated, although the how and why of this participation were still unknown and no theory had been formulated to explain the nutritional process as a whole.

Naturally occurring silicon has an atomic mass of 28.086 and consists of three isotopes. The major isotope is 28Si, natural abun

Elden [556K]

Answer:

29Si has a natural abundance of 4.68%.

30Si has a relative atomic mass of 29.99288 and a natural abundance of 3.09%.

Explanation:

The atomic mass of silicon is given by:

Si=Si²⁸×A₁+Si²⁹×A₂+Si³⁰×A₃

Where:

Si: atomic mass of silicon (28.086)

Si²⁸: relative atomic mass of 28Si (27.97693)

A₁: natural abundance of 28Si (92.23%)

Si²⁹: relative atomic mass of 29Si (28.97649)

A₂: natural abundance of 29Si

Si³⁰: relative atomic mass of 30Si

A₃: natural abundance of 30Si

We also know that 30Si natural abundance is in the ratio of 0.6592 to that of 29Si.

We have to set up a system of three equations in three unknowns:

Si=Si²⁸×A₁+Si²⁹×A₂+Si³⁰×A₃

A₃=0.6592×A₂

A₁+A₂+A₃=1

First, we find substitute the value of A₃ in the third equation and solv teh value of A₂:

A₁+A₂+0.6592×A₂=1

A₁+1.6592×A₂=1

1.6592×A₂=1-A₁

A₂= $\frac{1-A₁}{1.6592}=\frac{1-0.9223}{1.6592}$ =0.0468

Then, we find the value of A₃:

A₃=0.6592×A₂

A₃=0.6592×0.0468=0.0309

Finally, we find the value of Si³⁰ in the first equation:

Si=Si²⁸×A₁+Si²⁹×A₂+Si³⁰×A₃

28.086=27.97693×0.9223+28.97649×0.0468+Si³⁰×0.0309

28.086=27.15922+Si³⁰×0.0309

28.086-27.15922=Si³⁰×0.0309

$\frac{0.92678}{0.0309}$ =Si³⁰

Si³⁰=29.99288
