Answer:

1720 MeV

Explanation:

Thorium has 90 protons and 142 neutrons

The mass of each proton is 1.007277 amu

The mass of each neutron is 1.008665 amu

The mass of 90 protons is 90 * 1.007277 amu = 90.65493 amu

The mass of 142 neutrons is 142 * 1.008665 amu = 143.23043 amu

Total calculated mass of nucleons = 90.65493 amu + 143.23043 amu = 233.88536

Mass defect = 233.88536 amu - 232.038 amu = 1.84736 amu

We convert from amu to MeV using the conversion factor of 931

Binding energy = 1.84736 amu * 931 = 1720 MeV

What is the freezing point of a solution prepared from 45.0 g ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and 85.0 g H2O? Kf of water is 1.86°C/m.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

$T_{sol}=-15.9\°C$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can analyze the colligative property of solutions - freezing point depression - for the formed solution when ethylene glycol mixes with water. Thus, since water freezes at 0 °C, we can compute the freezing point of the solution as shown below:

$T_{sol}=T_{water}-i*m*Kf$

Whereas the van't Hoff factor for this solute is 1 as it is nonionizing and the molality is:

$m=\frac{mol_{solute}}{kg\ of\ water}=\frac{45.0g*\frac{1mol}{62g} }{85.0g*\frac{1kg}{1000g} } =8.54m$

Thus, we obtain:

$T_{sol}=0\°C+(-8.54m*1.86\frac{\°C}{m} )\\\\T_{sol}=-15.9\°C$

Best regards.

HEY CAN ANYONE PLS ANSWER DIS IN UR OWN WORDS!!!!!

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

1. They debated about many things.

2. Greek philosophers debated about things. They did not have a scientific/experiment based approach to studying nature. They did not have tools.

3. Democritus

4. Democritus had the basic idea of atoms, even though he had no experimental evidence to support his thinking.

5. taught that there were substances called atoms and that these atoms made up all material things. The atoms were unchangeable, indestructible, and always existed.
