We can also perform a similar calculation for the mass defect and binding energy for nuclear reactions using the masses of the a

toms and any other atomic particles that are part of the reaction. With this in mind, calculate the mass defect in amu and kg, and binding energy in J for the reaction of 1 neutron with U-235 to produce Te-137, Zr-97, and some neutrons. Balance the nuclear equation first before proceeding.
U-235 = 235.04393 amu, 01n = 1.00867 amu, Te-137 = 136.92532 amu, Zr-97 = 96.91095 amu

Boron-10 undergoes fission via thermal neutron capture of a single neutron to produce lithium-7, an alpha particle, and energy. Write a balanced nuclear equation, and then calculate the mass defect in amu and kg, and binding energy in J.
B-10 = 10.01294 amu, 01n = 1.00867 amu, Li-7 = 7.01600 amu, α (He-4) = 4.00260 amu

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

\frac{235}{92} U + \frac{1}{0} n ---->\frac{137}{52} Te + \frac{97}{40} Zr +2\frac{1}{0} n

Hence the mass defect is;

[235.04393 + 1.00867] - [ 136.92532 + 96.91095 + 2(1.00867)]

=  236.0526 - 235.85361

= 0.19899 amu

Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg

0.19899 amu = 0.19899 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 2.97 * 10^-11 J

ii) \frac{10}{5}B + \frac{1}{0}n-----> \frac{7}{3} Li + \frac{4}{2} He + Energy

Hence the mass defect is;

[10.01294 + 1.00867] - [7.01600 + 4.00260]

= 11.02161 - 11.0186

= 0.00301 amu

Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg

0.00301 amu = 0.00301 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 4.5 * 10^-13 J

How does the altitude of the Sun change throughout the year in Reno, NV?
vampirchik [111]

Given what we know, we can confirm that in Reno, NV, the angle of the Sun is lower during the winter months and <u>higher </u>in the <u>sky </u>during the summer.

<h3>How can we know this?</h3>

We can know this about Reno, NV, given that it is irrelevant where we placed this question. the answer will be the same all across the world. It has to do with the way the Earth orbits the Sun as well as the tilt of the Earth. This causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during summer and lower in the winter months.

Therefore, we can confirm that the angle of the Sun is lower during the winter months and higher in the sky during the summer, both in Reno, NV and everywhere else.

Does anyone know the anserw the symbol of the element
Komok [63]

Cesium.

Groups are the vertical columns that run up and down while periods are the horizontal rows. So to find the answer to this, go to the first column (Group 1) and find the sixth period (row 6) which will land you on Cesium, element 55.

Hope this helps!

A 200-gram sample of a radioactive nuclide is left to decay for 60 hours. At the end of 60 hours, only 25 grams of the sample is
Goryan [66]
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. 
The original mass is 200 g
Time taken is 60 hours
Final mass is 25 g
Therefore;
Final mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives.
25 = 200 (1/2)^n
1/8 = (1/2)^n
    n = 3 
Three half lives = 60 hours
1 half lives = 20 hours
Therefore; the half life of the radioactive nucleus is 20 hours

An aqueous solution of ammonia is found to be basic. This observation can be explained by the net ionic equationHNO3(aq) + H2O(l
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

NH_3_{(aq)}+H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow NH_4^+_{(aq)}+OH^-_{(aq)}

Explanation:

Bases are the species which furnish hydroxide ions in the solution or is capable of forming bonds with electron deficient species as they are electron rich species. When a base accepts a proton, it changes into a acid which is known as its conjugate acid.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.  Only the species which are present in aqueous state dissociate. So, the net ionic equation of aqueous solution of ammonia is shown below as:-

NH_3_{(aq)}+H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow NH_4^+_{(aq)}+OH^-_{(aq)}
