Answer :

The number of protons in Thorium, 90

The number of neutrons in Thorium, 144

The mass defect for the isotope thorium-234 = 1.85864 amu

Solution : Given,

Atomic mass of Thorium-234 = 234.04360 amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728 amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866 amu

First we have to determine the number of protons present in Thorium.

The atomic number of Thorium = 90

As the number of proton is equal to the atomic number. So, the number of proton is, 90

Now we have to determine the number of neutrons in Thorium.

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number

Number of neutrons = 234 - 90 = 144

Now we have to calculate the mass defect for the isotope Thorium-234.

Formula used :

\Delta m=(n\times m_P)+(x\times m_N)-M

where,

m = mass defect

n = number of protons

x = number of neutrons

m_P = mass of proton

m_N = mass of neutron

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the mass defect.

\Delta m=(90\times 1.00728)+(144\times 1.00866)-234.04360

\Delta m=1.85864amu

Therefore, the mass defect for the isotope thorium-234 is, 1.85864 amu

An industrial chemist is studying the rate of the haber synthesis: n2 + 3h2 → 2nh3. starting with a closed reactor containing 1.
andre [41]
Haber process is the large scale manufacture of a ammonia by reacting nitrogen and hydrogen at a ratio of 1:3
Change in hydrogen concentration is 0.45 - 0.16 = 0.29 moles/l
Therefore, the average rate of reaction of hydrogen = 0.29 / 30 = 0.0096 
   = 0.0096 moles/liter/sec

In the reaction CuO(s) + CO2(g) → CuCO3(s), a. CO2 is the Lewis acid and CuCO3 is its conjugate base. b. O2– acts as a Lewis bas
adoni [48]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Lewis acid-base concept:

The substance which is donating electron pair is considered as Lewis base and the substance which is accepting electron pair is considered as Lewis acid.

For the given chemical reaction:

CuO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow CuCO_3(s)

CO_2 is accepting electron pair and is getting converted to CO_3^{2-}. Thus, it is considered as Lewis acid.

O^{2-} present in CuO is a Lewis base because it is donating electron pair.

Thus, the correct answer is Option d.

78.9 + 890.43 - 21 = 9.5 x 10^2
maria [59]

948 or 9.48 x 10^2

There are two sets of rules for significant figures

• One set for addition and subtraction

• Another set for multiplication and division

You used the set for multiplication and division.

This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is

The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.

Thus, we have

78.9

+890.43

-21.

= 948.33

The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.

To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.

Answer:

21091mg of aspirin the person need to consume

Explanation:

To solve this question we must find the mass of the person in kg. Knowing the lethal dose for aspirin is 400mg/kg of person, we can find the amount of aspirin that the person need to consume to get a lethal dose:

<em>Mass person:</em>

116lb * (1kg / 2.2lb) = 52.7kg

<em>Lethal dose:</em>

52.7kg * (400mg / kg) =

<h3>21091mg of aspirin the person need to consume</h3>
