How many cubic centimeters of an ore containing only 0.22% gold (by mass) must be processed to obtain $100.00 worth of gold? The

density of the ore is 8.0 g/cm3 and the price of gold is $818 per troy ounce. (14.6 troy oz = 1.0 ordinary pound, called an avoirdupois pound; 1 lb = 454 g)

Answer:

The cubic centimetres of the ore containing 0.22% gold (by mass) that must be processed to obtain the $100.00 worth of gold is approximately 216 cm³

Explanation:

The percentage by mass of gold in the ore = 0.22%

The density of the ore = 8.0 g/cm³

The price of the gold = $818 per troy ounce

14.6 troy oz = 1.0 pound

1 lb = 454 g

Given that one troy ounce = $818

$100 worth of gold = 1/818 ×100 troy ounce = 100/818 troy ounce

1 troy oz = 1.0/14.6 lb

100/818 troy oz =  100/818 × 1.0/14.6 lb = 250/29857 lb ≈ 0.0084 lb

1 lb = 454 g

250/29857 lb = 454 × 250/29857 g ≈ 3.8015 g

$100 = 3.8015 g worth of gold

The mass, M, of the ore containing 3.8015 g of gold is given as follows;

0.22% of M = 3.8015 g

0.22/100 × M = 3.8015 g

M = 3.8015 g × 100/0.22 = 1727.933 g

The volume, V, of the ore containing 3.8015 g of gold is given as follows;

Density of ore = Mass of ore/(Volume of ore)

Volume of ore = Mass of ore /(Density of ore)

The density of the ore = 8.0 g/cm³

Volume of ore = 1727.933 g /(8.0 g/cm³) = 215.99 cm³ ≈ 216 cm³

Therefore, the cubic centimetres of the ore containing 0.22% gold (by mass) that must be processed to obtain the $100.00 worth of gold ≈ 216 cm³.

At what height above the earth surface will the gravitational acceleration be 5m
slamgirl [31]

Answer: -

The acceleration due to gravity at height r = a = GM/r²

Rearranging

r² = GM /a

= (6.674 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.972 x 10²⁴ ) / 5

r = 8.917 x 10⁶ m

r = 8917 Km

Now Radius of earth = 6371 Km

So height = 8917 - 6371 = 2546 Km

Relate what you have learned about the word quantum to the Bohr model.​
ss7ja [257]
I forgot what quantum means to be honest, the Bohr model In atomic physics, the Bohr model or Rutherford–Bohr model, presented by Niels Bohr and Ernest Rutherford in 1913, is a system consisting of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons—similar to the structure of the Solar System, but with attraction provided by electrostatic forces in place of gravity. After the cubical model (1902), the plum pudding model (1904), the Saturnian model (1904), and the Rutherford model (1911) came the Rutherford–Bohr model or just Bohr model for short (1913). The improvement over the 1911 Rutherford model mainly concerned the new quantum physical interpretation.

A plot of binding energy per nucleon (Eb/ A) versus the mass number (A) shows that nuclei with a small mass number have a small
juin [17]

Answer:

a)   1.12 MeV / nucleon

b)   5.62 MeV / nucleon

c)  8.80 MeV / nucleon

d) 8.56 MeV / nucleon

we can conclude that the binding energy has a maximum value for nuclei with a mass around 60

Explanation:

Binding energy = ( Δm * 931.5 ) MeV

Binding energy per nucleon = Binding energy in / Number of nucleon

<u>a) ²H = 1 neutron , 1 proton = 2 nucleons </u>

Given that the theoretical mass = 2.0141 u

Actual mass = 1.0078 u + 1.0087 u = 2.0165 u

Δm  = 2.0165 u - 2.0141 u = 2.4 * 10^-3 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 2.4 * 10^-3  * 931.5 ) MeV / 2 nucleons

                                                  = 1.12 MeV / nucleon

<u>b) ⁷Li = 3 protons , 4 neutrons = 7 nucleons </u>

theoretical mass = 7.0160 u

Actual mass = ( 3 * 1.0078 ) + ( 4 * 1.0087 )  = 7.0582 u  

Δm  = ( 7.0582 u  - 7.0160 u  ) = 0.0422 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 0.0422 * 931.5 ) / 7

                                                  = 5.62 MeV / nucleon

<u>C) ⁶²Ni = 28 protons , 34 neutrons = 62 nucleons </u>

Theoretical mass = 61.9283 u

Actual mass = ( 28 * 1.0078 ) u + ( 34 * 1.0087 ) u

                    = 62.5142 u

Δm = 0.5859 u  

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 0.5859 * 931.5 ) / 62

                                                  = 8.80 MeV / nucleon

<u>D) ¹¹⁰Cd = 48 protons , 62 neutrons = 110 nucleons </u>

Theoretical mass = 109.9030 u

Actual mass = ( 48 * 1.0078 ) + ( 62 * 1.0087 )

                    = 110.9138 u

Δm  = ( 110.9138 - 109.9030 ) = 1.0108 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 1.0108 * 931.5 ) / 110

                                                  = 8.56 MeV / nucleon

hence we can conclude that the binding energy has a maximum value for nuclei with a mass around 60
