Explanation:
Spectator ions refers to elements/molecules that do not form part of the reaction. Basically, these elements/molecules are in the same state in the reactant and product side. From the given reaction, Ca and SO4 change their state from aqueous to solid and Na and Cl do not change their state. Therefore, Na and Cl are spectator ions and Ca and SO4 are not spectator ions.
Answer:
The correct option is C.
The atomic mass of the isotope Ni ( 62 over 28 ) = 61.928345 amu.
Mass of the electrons: 28 · 5.4584 · 10^(-4 ) amu = 0.0152838 amu ( g/mol )
Mass of the nuclei:
61.928345 amu - 0.0152838 amu = 61.913062 amu (g/mol)
The mass difference between a nucleus and its constituent nucleons is called the mass defect.
For Ni ( 62 over 28 ): Mass of the protons: 28 · 1.00728 amu = 28.20384 amu
Mass of the neutrons: 34 · 1.00866 amu = 34.299444 amu
In total : 62.49828 amu
The mass defect = 62.49828 - 61.913062 = 0.585218 amu
Nucleus binding energy:
E = Δm · c² ( the Einstein relationship )
E = 0.585218 · ( 2.9979 · 10^8 m/s )² · 1 / (6.022 · 10^23) · 1 kg / 1000 g =
= 0.585218 · 8.9874044 · 10 ^16 : (6.022 · 10^23) · 0.001 =
= ( 5.2595908 : 6.022 ) · 0.001 · 10^(-7 ) =
= 0.0008733 · 10^(-7) J = 8.733 · 10^(-11) J
The nucleus binding energy per nucleon:
8.733 · 10^(-11) J : 62 = 0.14085 · 10 ^(-11) =
= 1.4085 · 10^(-12) J per nucleon.
