A plot of binding energy per nucleon (Eb/ A) versus the mass number (A) shows that nuclei with a small mass number have a small

binding energy per nucleon, as the mass number increases the binding energy per nucleon increases, and the value for the binding energy per nucleon has a maximum value for nuclei with a mass number around 60. Verify that this is the case by determining the binding energy per nucleon for each of the following four nuclei. (Let the mass of a proton be 1.0078 u, the mass of a neutron be 1.0087 u, the mass of 2H be 2.0141 u, the mass of 7Li be 7.0160 u, the mass of 62Ni be 61.9283 u, and the mass of 110Cd be 109.9030 u.
a. 2H
b. 7Li
c. 62Ni
d. 110Cd

Answer:

a)   1.12 MeV / nucleon

b)   5.62 MeV / nucleon

c)  8.80 MeV / nucleon

d) 8.56 MeV / nucleon

we can conclude that the binding energy has a maximum value for nuclei with a mass around 60

Explanation:

Binding energy = ( Δm * 931.5 ) MeV

Binding energy per nucleon = Binding energy in / Number of nucleon

<u>a) ²H = 1 neutron , 1 proton = 2 nucleons </u>

Given that the theoretical mass = 2.0141 u

Actual mass = 1.0078 u + 1.0087 u = 2.0165 u

Δm  = 2.0165 u - 2.0141 u = 2.4 * 10^-3 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 2.4 * 10^-3  * 931.5 ) MeV / 2 nucleons

                                                  = 1.12 MeV / nucleon

<u>b) ⁷Li = 3 protons , 4 neutrons = 7 nucleons </u>

theoretical mass = 7.0160 u

Actual mass = ( 3 * 1.0078 ) + ( 4 * 1.0087 )  = 7.0582 u  

Δm  = ( 7.0582 u  - 7.0160 u  ) = 0.0422 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 0.0422 * 931.5 ) / 7

                                                  = 5.62 MeV / nucleon

<u>C) ⁶²Ni = 28 protons , 34 neutrons = 62 nucleons </u>

Theoretical mass = 61.9283 u

Actual mass = ( 28 * 1.0078 ) u + ( 34 * 1.0087 ) u

                    = 62.5142 u

Δm = 0.5859 u  

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 0.5859 * 931.5 ) / 62

                                                  = 8.80 MeV / nucleon

<u>D) ¹¹⁰Cd = 48 protons , 62 neutrons = 110 nucleons </u>

Theoretical mass = 109.9030 u

Actual mass = ( 48 * 1.0078 ) + ( 62 * 1.0087 )

                    = 110.9138 u

Δm  = ( 110.9138 - 109.9030 ) = 1.0108 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 1.0108 * 931.5 ) / 110

                                                  = 8.56 MeV / nucleon

hence we can conclude that the binding energy has a maximum value for nuclei with a mass around 60

What two categorical ways of thinking about matter are discussed in the passage?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

There's no passage but I can say that matter are that ''thing'' which extend through all Universe, matter is everything. It can be seen or felt as liquid, gas or solid. This changes of its state depend on the amount of energy that is involved.

So, here is used categorical thinking because is a abstract concept that is hard to understand sometimes. It's abstract when we say that matter is all, not  just what we see, but even what we don't see like ''Dark Matter'', which is the majority in the Universe.

Which linkages in starch and triglycerides result from condensation reactions? glycosidic bonds in starch and ester bonds in tri
bogdanovich [222]
Glycosidic bonds in starch and ester bonds in triglycerides. The glycosidic bond is considered to be the covalent synthetic bonds that connection ring-molded sugar particles to different atoms. The frame by a buildup response between a liquor or amine of one particle and the anomeric carbon of the sugar, and hence, might be O-connected or N-connected.

Please answer!
evablogger [386]
1.) A compound is a substance that originates from two or more separate elements. It shares some similarities with a mixture.

2.) A compound has quite different properties from which it was formed. It also cannot be separated easily. Compounds are formed by chemical reactions.

3.) A pure substance has a constant composition and has consistent properties. It can be a compound or an element, but its composition is constant.

Hope this helps. :)

A gas occupies a volume of 50.0 mL at 100K and 630 mmHg. At what temperature would
rodikova [14]
PV / T = P'V' / T'

V = V'

P / T = P' / T'

P = 630 mmHg
T = 100 K
P' = 1760 mmHg
T' = ?

630 / 100 = 1760 / T'

T' = 1760 / 6,3

T' = 279,36 K

T' ≈ 280 K
