<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:
where,
= number of protons
= mass of one proton
= number of neutrons
= mass of one neutron
M = mass number of element
We are given:
An isotope of phosphorus which is
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:
Hence, the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399
Answer:
47.3 ml
Explanation:
The graduated cylinder is shown in the image attached.
Now we have to take a good look at the cylinder, the lines between 45 and 50 are 46, 47, 48 and 49. Even though the points in between two lines weren't graduated but we can intelligently guess the correct volume by observing the upper meniscus of the liquid. Hence the answer.
