The correct option is A.
To calculate the binding energy, you have to find the mass defect first.
Mass defect = [mass of proton and neutron] - Mass of the nucleus
The molar mass of thorium that we are given in the question is 234, the atomic number of thorium is 90, that means the number of neutrons in thorium is 
234 - 90 = 144.
The of proton in thourium is 90, same as the atomic number.
Mass defect = {[90 * 1.00728] +[144* 1.00867]} - 234
Note that each proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and each neutron has the mass of 1.00867 amu.
Mass defect = [90.6552 + 145.24848] - 234 = 1.90368 amu.
Note that the unit of the mass is in amu, it has to be converted to kg
To calculate the mass in kg
Mass [kg] = 1.90368 * [1kg/6.02214 * 10^-26 = 3.161135 * 10^-27
To calculate the binding energy
E = MC^2
C = Speed of light constant = 2.9979245 *10^8 m/s2
E = [3.161135 * 10^-27] * [2.9979245 *10^8]^2
E = 2.84108682069 * 10^-10.
Note that we arrive at this answer because of the number of significant figures that we used.
So, from the option given, Option A is the nearest to the calculated value and is our answer for this problem.

A 10.0-g sample of sodium chloride was placed in 10.0 g of water. If 3.85 g of Cl2 was obtained, what was the percent yield of C
suter [353]

Answer:

63.53% yield

Explanation:

The balanced equation for this reaction is 2NaCl + H2O -> 2NaOH +Cl2

First we must find the limiting reactant

From NaCl we can only produce 6.06 grams of Cl2 in <u>theory</u>

From H20 we can only produce 38.995 grams in theory

so we know NaCl is the limiting

% yield is (Actual/Theoretical) x100 so

(3.85/6.06)x100= 63.53% yield

What volume of Co2 (carbon (iv) oxide)
hram777 [196]

Answer:

2.1056L or 2105.6mL

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 10g of Na2CO3. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = (23x2) + 12 + (16x3) = 106g/mol

Mass of Na2CO3 = 10g

Mole of Na2CO3 =.?

Mole = mass /molar mass

Mole of Na2CO3 = 10/106

Mole of Na2CO3 = 0.094 mole

Next, we shall determine the number of mole CO2 produced by the reaction of 0.094 mole of Na2CO3. This is illustrated below:

Na2CO3 + 2HCl —> 2NaCl + H2O + CO2

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Na2CO3 reacted to produce 1 mole of CO2.

Therefore, 0.094 mole of Na2CO3 will also react to 0.094 mole of CO2.

Next, we shall determine the volume occupied by 0.094 mole of CO2 at STP. This is illustrated below:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at STP. This implies that 1 mole CO2 occupies 22.4L at STP.

Now, if 1 mole of CO2 occupy 22.4L at STP, then, 0.094 mole of CO2 will occupy = 0.094 x 22.4 = 2.1056L

Therefore, the volume of CO2 produced is 2.1056L or 2105.6mL

A laser produces red light of wavelength 632.8 nm. Calculate the energy,
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

189.2 KJ

Explanation:

Data Given

wavelength of the light = 632.8 nm

Convert nm to m

1 nm = 1 x 10⁻⁹

632.8 nm = 632.8 x 1 x 10⁻⁹ = 6.328 x 10⁻⁷m

Energy of 1 mole of photon = ?

Solution

Formula used

                     E = hc/λ

where

E = energy of photon

h = Planck's Constant

Planck's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

c = speed of light

speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ ms⁻¹

λ = wavelength of light

Put values in above equation

                   E = hc/λ

                   E = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js ( 3 × 10⁸ ms⁻¹ / 6.328 x 10⁻⁷m)

                   E = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js (4.741 x 10¹⁴s⁻¹)

                  E = 3.141 x 10⁻¹⁹J

3.141 x 10⁻¹⁹J is energy for one photon

Now we have to find energy of 1 mole of photon

As we know that

1 mole consists of  6.022 x10²³ numbers of photons

So,

     Energy for one mole photons = 3.141 x 10⁻¹⁹J x  6.022 x10²³

     Energy for one mole photons = 1.89 x 10⁵ J

Now convert J to KJ

1000 J = 1 KJ

1.89 x 10⁵ J = 1.89 x 10⁵ /1000 = 189.2 KJ

So,

energy of one mole of photons = 189.2 KJ

Why do you think scientists claim to offer only supporting evidence for a theory and not proof?
larisa [96]
Because they're not confident enough to confirm it's indeed true but they will support it for they believe it's correct.
