Answer:
2Mg(s) + O2 (g) -> 2MgO(g)
I think it would be D. atoms because they are very tiny but still take up space
Answer:
9.1747x10⁻²⁵g
Explanation:
The mass defect is the difference between the mass of a nucleus and the mass of its particles. The nucleus is formed by protons and neutrons. The atomic number of Cobalt is 27, which means that it has 27 protons in its nucleus. The number of neutrons is the mass (60) less than the number of protons, so it is 33.
Then:
Mass of 27 protons = 27 x 1.00728 = 27.19656 amu
Mass of 33 neutrons = 33 x 1.00867 = 33.28611 amu
Total mass = 60.48267 amu
Mass defect = 60.48267 - 59.9338
Mass defect = 0.54887 amu
1 amu = 1.66054x10⁻²⁴ g, so 0.54887 amu = 9.1747x10⁻²⁵g
