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!

A 2.00 L sample of gas at 35C is to be heated at constant pressure until it reaches a volume of 5.25 L. To what Kelvin temperatu
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The sample will be heated to 808.5 Kelvin

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume before heating = 2.00L

Temperature before heating = 35.0°C = 308 K

Volume after heating = 5.25 L

Pressure is constant

Step 2: Calculate temperature

V1 / T1 = V2 /T2

⇒ V1 = the initial volume = 2.00 L

⇒ T1 = the initial temperature = 308 K

⇒ V2 = the final volume = 5.25 L

⇒ T2 = The final temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

2.00L / 308.0 = 5.25L / T2

T2 = 5.25/(2.00/308.0)

T2 = 808.5 K

The sample will be heated to 808.5 Kelvin

Which statement best describes the behavior of most soilds?
lidiya [134]
B is correct. Molecules move faster when they are hotter because they have more energy. You can notice this change with your naked eye. Molecules in solids don't move. They have barely any energy. Hope this helps! ;)
