Calculate the mass defect for oxygen-16 given this data. Round to the 5es001-1.jpg decimal place. mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen atom = 15.994914amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866amu

Unknown:

Mass defect = ?

From the periodic table, the number of the elementary particles in a neutral Oxygen atom is given below:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 8

Number of electrons = 8

Solution

The mass defect examines the difference between the actual mass of an atom and sum of masses of the nucleons.

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons have little to no weight compared with the nucleons.

To calculate the mass defect, we first know the mass of the nucleons first:

1 proton has a mass of 1.00728amu

8 protons will weigh: (8 x 1.00728)amu = 8.05824amu

For the neutrons:

1 neutron has a mass of 1.00866amu

8 neutrons will weigh: (8 x 1.00866)amu = 8.06928amu

Mass of the nucleons = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

= 8.05824amu + 8.06928amu

= 16.12752amu

The mass defect = mass of the nucleons - mass of the atom

= 16.12752amu - 15.994914amu

= 0.132606amu ≅ 0.13261amu to 5 decimal places

Answer:

Genetically modified organisms or GMOs can be characterized as living beings (for example plants, creatures or microorganisms) in which the hereditary material (DNA) has been changed in a way that doesn't happen normally by mating and additionally common recombination. The innovation is regularly called "present day biotechnology" or "quality innovation", now and again likewise "recombinant DNA innovation" or "hereditary designing". It permits chosen singular qualities to be moved from one life form into another, likewise between nonrelated species. Nourishments created from or utilizing GM life forms are regularly alluded to as GM nourishments.

GM nourishments are created – and promoted – in light of the fact that there is some apparent bit of leeway either to the maker or customer of these nourishments. This is intended to convert into an item with a lower cost, more prominent advantage (regarding toughness or healthy benefit) or both. At first GM seed engineers needed their items to be acknowledged by makers and have focused on advancements that carry direct advantage to ranchers (and the food business by and large).

One of the destinations for creating plants dependent on GM life forms is to improve crop insurance. The GM crops as of now available are fundamentally focused on an expanded degree of harvest security through the presentation of obstruction against plant infections brought about by creepy crawlies or infections or through expanded resilience towards herbicides.

Resistance for insects is accomplished by consolidating into the food plant the quality for toxins creation from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). This poison is presently utilized as an ordinary bug spray in agribusiness and is ok for human utilization. GM crops that inalienably produce this poison have been appeared to require lower amounts of bug sprays in explicit circumstances, for example where nuisance pressure is high. Infection obstruction is accomplished through the presentation of quality from certain infections that cause sickness in plants. Infection opposition makes plants less helpless to sicknesses brought about by such infections, bringing about higher harvest yields.

Herbicide resilience is accomplished through the presentation of a quality from a bacterium passing on protection from certain herbicides. In circumstances where weed pressure is high, the utilization of such harvests has brought about a decrease in the amount of the herbicides utilized.
