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

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

Write the structure of the following compound:<br>=&gt; 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methylpropane
Rudiy27

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The IUPAC system of nomenclature enables the structure of molecules to be written seamlessly from the name of the compound. Hence it is commonly called the systematic nomenclature.

The parent chain here is propane. It is substituted at the 2- position by a methyl group and at the 3-position by 4-chlorophenyl group as we can see in the image attached to this answer.

How many grams of As2S3 are in 3.25 moles?
laiz [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molar mass of As2S3= {75(2) + 32(3)}

= 150 + 96 = 246g/mol

Amount = 3.25mole

And

Amount = mass/ molar mass

mass = amount × molar mass

Mass = 3.25 × 246

mass = 799.5g

Dolomite, [CaMg(CO3)2] is found in a soil sample. A geochemist titrates 24.65 g of soil with 57.85 mL of 0.3315M HCl. What is th
pshichka [43]

In order to find out the %mass dolomite in the soil, calculate for the mass of dolomite using the information given from the titration procedure. You would need to multiply 57.85 ml with 0.3315 M HCl and you would get the amount of HCl in millimoles. Then multiply the amount of HCl with 1/2 (given that for every 1 mol of dolomite, 2 mol of HCl would be needed). Convert the amount of dolomite to mass by multiplying the millimoles with the molecular weight which is 184.399. Then convert the mass to grams which is 1.768 grams. Divide the mass of dolomite (1.768 grams) with the weight of soil sample. The % mass is 7.17.
