Answer:

The mass defect of a deuterium nucleus is 0.001848 amu.

Explanation:

The deuterium is:

^{A}_{Z}X \rightarrow ^{2}_{1}H  

The mass defect can be calculated by using the following equation:

\Delta m = [Zm_{p} + (A - Z)m_{n}] - m_{a}

Where:

Z: is the number of protons = 1

A: is the mass number = 2      

m_{p}: is the proton's mass = 1.00728 amu  

m_{n}: is the neutron's mass = 1.00867 amu

m_{a}: is the mass of deuterium = 2.01410178 amu

Then, the mass defect is:

\Delta m = [1.00728 amu + (2- 1)1.00867 amu] - 2.01410178 amu = 0.001848 amu

Therefore, the mass defect of a deuterium nucleus is 0.001848 amu.

I hope it helps you!

If hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true?
Alchen [17]

Answer: The statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Explanation:

A strong acid upon dissociation gives a weak conjugate base. This can also be said as stronger is the acid, weaker will be its conjugate base or vice-versa.

Hydrofluoric acid is a strong base as it dissociates completely when dissolved in water.

For example, HF \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + F^{-}

The conjugate base is F^{-} which is a weak base.

Acetic acid is a weak acid as it dissociates partially when dissolved in water. So, the conjugate base of acetic acid is a strong base.

CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COO^{-} + H^{+}

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.
