The mass defect for the isotope thorium-234 if given mass is 234.04360 amu is 1.85864 amu.
<h3>How do we calculate atomic mass?</h3>
Atomic mass (A) of any atom will be calculated as:
A = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
In the Thorium-234:
Number of protons = 90
Number of neutrons = 144
Mass of one proton = 1.00728 amu
Mass of one neutron = 1.00866 amu
Mass of thorium-234 = 90(1.00728) + 144(1.00866)
Mass of thorium-234 = 90.6552 + 145.24704 = 235.90224 amu
Given mass of thorium-234 = 234.04360 amu
Mass defect = 235.90224 - 234.04360 = 1.85864 amu
Hence required value is 1.85864 amu.

Answer:
that is why co2 is in the power of 2ik
A solution is prepared by adding 1.43 mol of potassium chloride (kcl) to 889 g of water. The concentration of kcl is 1.61 molal.
mol of Kcl (potassium chloride)= 1.43
water = 889 g
the formula for calculating molality is:
molality = moles of solute/kilograms of solvent
1kg = 1000g so, 889g = 0.889kg
m = 1.43/0.889 = 1.61 molal
Uranium-235 would be more useful for dating in Cambrian time because Cambrian time was 540 million years ago while the half life of carbon-14 is only 5,730 years
Hope this helps
