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

The first step in the two-step process of making a solution is the breakdown of the solute source into ____________."
Troyanec [42]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Atomic particles

The first step in the two-step process of making a solution is the breakdown of the solute source into <u>atomic particles</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances uniformly dispersed throughout a single phase
  • <em><u>The liquid component that makes up the largest part of a solution is called the solvent, and the substance that is dissolved is called the solute.</u></em>
  • Unsaturated Solution is a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution does and that is able to dissolve additional solute, while saturated Solution is a solution that cannot dissolve any more solute under the given conditions

What happens to the volume of a gas when you double the number of moles of gas while keeping the temperature and pressure consta
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of the gas also gets double when number of moles are doubled.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The relationship of number of moles and volume at constant temperature and pressure was given by Avogadro's law. This law states that volume is directly proportional to number of moles at constant temperature and pressure.

The equation used to calculate number of moles is given by:

\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}

where,

V_1\text{ and }n_1 are the initial volume and number of moles

V_2\text{ and }n_2 are the final volume and number of moles

We are given:

n_2=2n_1

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{2n_1}\\\\V_2=\frac{2n_2\times V_1}{n_1}=2V_2

Hence, the volume of the gas also gets double when number of moles are doubled.
