(i) The density of the solid is 950 kg/m³

(ii) the density of another liquid in which the same solid would float is 200 kg/m³

The given parameters;

mass of the solid in air, Ma = 237.5 g

mass of the solid in liquid, Ms = 12.5 g

density of the liquid, $\rho_l = 900 \ kg/m^3$

(i) The density of the solid is calculated as follows;

Weight in air - Weight in liquid = upthrust

$\frac{\rho_o}{\rho_l} = \frac{Ma}{M_a - Ms} \\\\\frac{\rho_o}{900} = \frac{237.5}{237.5 - 12.5}\\\\\frac{\rho_o}{900} =1.0556\\\\\rho_o = 1.0556 \times 900\\\\\rho_o = 950 \ kg/m^3$

(ii) the density of another liquid in which the same solid would float with one-fifth of its volume exposed above the liquid surface.

This is a low density liquid, because one-fifth of the solid is above the liquid surface while four-fifth is below the liquid surface.

the specific gravity of the liquid = ¹/₅ = 0.2

density of water , $\rho_w = 1000 \ kg/m^3$

$S.G = \frac{\rho_l}{\rho_w} \\\\0.2 = \frac{\rho_l}{1000} \\\\\rho_l = 0.2 \times 1000\\\\\rho_l = 200 \ kg/m^3$

Thus, the density of another liquid in which the same solid would float is 200 kg/m³

Given the isotope 2Fes, which has an actual mass of 55.934939 u: a) b) Determine the mass defect of the nucleus in atomic mass u

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Mass defect of each iron-56 nuclei:

The binding energy per nucleon of Iron-56 is approximately 8.6 MeV.

Explanation:

According to the physics constants table on Chemistry Libretexts:

Proton rest mass: $\rm 1.0072765\;amu$ ;
Neutron rest mass: $\rm 1.0086649\; amu$ .
Speed of light in vacuum: $\rm 2.99792458\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}$ .
Charge on an electron: $\rm 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;C$ .

The mass defect of a nucleus is equal to the sum of the mass of its parts (protons and, in most cases, neutrons) minus the mass of the nucleus.

The atomic number of iron is 26. There are 26 protons in each iron-56 nucleus. The mass number 56 indicates that there are 56 nucleons (neutrons and protons) in each iron-56 nucleus. The other $56 - 26 = 30$ particles are neutrons.

The mass of protons and neutrons in each iron-56 nucleus will be:

$\rm 26 \times 1.0072765 + 30 \times 1.0086649 = 56.464736\;amu$ .

According to this question, the mass of an iron-56 nucleus is equal to 55.934939 amu. The mass defect will be

$\rm 56.464736 - 55.934939 = 0.514197\;amu$ .

By the mass-energy equivalence,

$E = m\cdot c^{2}$ .

Refer to this equation, the speed of light in vacuum $c^{2}$ is the conversion factor between mass $m$ and energy $E$ . The value of $c$ is usually given only in SI units $\rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ . Accordingly, the value of $c^{2}$ will be in the SI unit $\rm m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} = J\cdot kg^{-1}$ .

Convert million electron-volts to joules.

One electron-volt is equal to the electrical work done moving an electron across a potential difference of one volt.

$\begin{aligned}\rm 1 MeV&= \rm 10^{6}\; eV\\ &= \rm (10^{6}\times 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;C)\times 1\; V\\&=\rm 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;J\end{aligned}$ .

Convert the unit of $c^{2}$ from $\rm m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} = J\cdot kg^{-1}$ to the desired $\rm MeV \cdot amu^{-1}$ :

$\begin{aligned}c^{2} &= \rm {\left(2.99792458\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}\right)}^{2}\\&=\rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; m^{2}\cdot s^{-2}\\ &= \rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; J\cdot kg^{-1}\\&= \rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; J\cdot kg^{-1}\times \frac{1\;MeV}{1.6021765\times 10^{-13}\;J}\times \frac{1\times 10^{-3}\;kg}{6.022142\times 10^{23}\;amu}\\&\approx \rm 931.602164\;MeV\cdot amu^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Total binding energy in each iron-56 nucleus:

$\begin{aligned}E &= m\cdot c^{2}\\&= \rm 0.514197\;amu \times 9.31602164\;MeV\cdot amu^{-1} \\&=\rm 479.027038\; MeV \end{aligned}$ .

Again, the mass number 56 indicates that there are 56 nucleons in each iron-56 nucleus. The binding energy per nucleon of iron-56 $\mathrm{^{56}Fe}$ will be:

$\displaystyle \rm \frac{479.027038\; MeV}{56} \approx 8.6\; MeV$ .

When is a secondary source more helpful than a primary source?

UNO [17]

Answer:

I think the answer is C.

Explanation:

A primary source is a first hand account of an event while a secondary source is a retelling or second hand account meaning as many details will be prevalent.

erik [133]

Answer:

Initial pressure = 6 atm. Work = 0.144 J

Explanation:

You need to know the equation P1*V1=P2*V2, where P1 is the initial pressure, V1 is the initial volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume respectively. So you can rearrange the terms and find that (1.2*0.05)/(0.01) = initial pressure = 6 atm. The work done by the system can be obtained calculating the are under the curve, so it is 0.144J
