Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Number of protons = 28

Number of neutrons = 28

Mass of each proton = 1.007277 amu

Mass of 28 protons = 28 * 1.007277 amu = 28.203756 amu

Mass of each neutron = 1.008665 amu

Mass of 28 neutrons = 28 * 1.008665 amu = 28.24262 amu

mass defect of nickel-56  = 0.4667 amu

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 0.4667 *(3 * 10^8)^2

Binding energy =4.2 * 10^16 J

Binding energy per nucleon = 4.2 * 10^16 J/56

Binding energy per nucleon = 7.5 * 10^14 J

What volume of a 2.00 m kcl solution is required to prepare 500. ml of a 0.100 m kcl solution?
den301095 [7]

To solve this we use the equation, 

M1V1 = M2V2

where M1 is the concentration of the stock solution, V1 is the volume of the stock solution, M2 is the concentration of the new solution and V2 is its volume.

2 M x V1 = 0.1 M x .5 L

<span>V1 = 0.025 L or 25 mL of the 2 M KCl solution is needed</span>

What is restriction enzymes and what is it’s purpose?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:  <u>Endonuclease enzymes used in molecular biology that cut DNA at specified points.</u>

Explanation:

Enzymes are specific protein types which bind to a substrate within a reaction, to increase the rate of reaction within the solution- they speed up the rate of reaction.

Restriction enzymes are bacteria-derived enzymes; these make cuts on deoxyribonucleic acid molecules or DNA. These are also called  restriction endonucleases. They are utilized in molecular biology for DNA cloning and sequencing and cut DNA into smaller pieces called fragments.

Restriction enzymes make directed cuts on DNA molecules. They precisely target sites on DNA to produce mostly identical or homogenous, discrete fragments of equal sizes, producing blunt or sticky ends. In order to do this, they recognize sequences of nucleotides that correspond with a complementary sequence on the endonuclease called restriction sites.

There are several kinds that may require cofactors (chemical or metallic compounds that aid in enzyme activity)  :

  • Type I: cleave far away from the recognition site; require ATP and  SAMe S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine

  • Type II: cleave near to the site; require Magnesium

  • Type III: cleave near to the site; require ATP which is not hydrolysed but  SAMe S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine is optional

  • Type IV: cleavage targeted to DNA that have undergone post transcriptional modification through certain types of methylation (addition of a methyl group)

Kc= [3.1*10^-2]^2. (mol/L^2) divide by [8.5*10^-1] [3.1*10^-3]^3 (mol/L)^4​
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Kc = 12.58

Explanation:

Kc = [0.229]^2*[0.687]^6/[0.221]^4*[0.5685]^3

Kc = (0.052441)(0.10513)/(0.002385)(0.18373)

Kc = 0.0005513/0.000438

Kc = 12.58

Hope that helps!!

How to prepare 250.00 ml of approximately 1.0 m hcl solution from the 2.5 m hcl solutio?
kirill115 [55]

To solve this we use the equation, 

M1V1 = M2V2

where M1 is the concentration of the stock solution, V1 is the volume of the stock solution, M2 is the concentration of the new solution and V2 is its volume.

2.5 M x V1 = 1.0 M x .250 L

<span>V1 = 0.10 L or 100 mL of the 2.5 M HCl solution is needed

Hope this helps.</span>

How many grams of hydrochloric acid will react completely with a block of gold is 3.2 cm by 3.8 cm by 2.8 cm, if the density of
JulijaS [17]
Answer:
mass of HCl = 243.5426 grams

Explanation:
1- we will get the mass of the reacting gold:
volume of gold = length * width * height
volume of gold = 3.2 * 3.8 * 2.8 = 34.048 cm^3 = 34.048 ml<span>
density = mass / volume
Therefore:
mass = density * volume
mass of gold = </span>19.3 * 34.048 = 657.1264 grams

2- we will get the number of moles of the reacting gold:
number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = 657.1264 / 196.96657 
number of moles = 3.3362 moles

3- we will get the number of moles of the HCl:
First, we will balanced the given equation. The balanced equation will be as follows:
Au + 2HCl ......> AuCl2 + H2
This means that one mole of Au reacts with 2 moles of HCl.
Therefore 3.3362 moles will react with 2*3.3362 = 6.6724 moles of HCL

4- we will get the mass of the HCl:
From the periodic table:
molar mass of H = 1 gram
molar mass of Cl = 35.5 grams
Therefore:
molar mass of HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 grams/mole
number of moles = mass / molar mass
Therefore:
mass = number of moles * molar mass
mass of HCl = 6.6724 * 36.5
mass of HCl = 243.5426 grams

Hope this helps :)
