If 25.8 grams of BaO dissolve in enough water to make a 212-gram solution, what is the percent by mass of the solution?
Igoryamba
The correct answer is 12.2% BaO.

The solution is found by dividing the mass of the BaO, which is 25.8 grams, by the total mass of the solution, which is 212 grams, then multiplying it by 100 to get the percentage:
\frac{25.8}{212}*(100) =12.2%

Calculate the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31. The mass of a phosphorus-31 nucleus is 30.973765 amu. The masses o
Nata [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass defect is defined as the difference in the mass of an isotope and its mass number.

The equation used to calculate mass defect follows:

\Delta m=[(n_p\times m_p)+(n_n\times m_n)]-M

where,

n_p = number of protons

m_p = mass of one proton

n_n = number of neutrons

m_n = mass of one neutron

M = mass number of element

We are given:

An isotope of phosphorus which is _{15}^{31}\textrm{P}

Number of protons = atomic number = 15

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 31 - 15 = 16

Mass of proton = 1.00728 amu

Mass of neutron = 1.00866 amu

Mass number of phosphorus = 30.973765 amu

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta m=[(15\times 1.00728)+(16\times 1.00866)]-30.973765\\\\\Delta m=0.27399

Hence, the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

Which boiling point is lower an why?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:4

Explanation:

If we carefully observe the electronegativity of the elements in question

P-2.19

N-3.04

C-2.55

Si-1.9

H-2.2

SiH4 is definitely more polar than CH4 hence greater dipole forces of a higher boiling point. NH3 is more polar than PH3 hence NH3 has greater dipole forces and a higher boiling point. Electronegative differences influences the polarity of a bond. The greater the electro negativity difference between bonding atoms, the greater the dipole forces and the greater the boiling point.
