The mass defect of the Boron : <u>Δm = 0.081815 amu</u>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Atoms are composed of 3 types of basic particles namely protons, electrons, and neutrons

The mass of this basic particle is expressed in atomic mass units (amu)

The mass of atoms is always slightly less than the sum of the masses of the individual atomic forming particles namely neutrons, protons, and electrons. The difference between the mass of the atom and the sum of the masses of atomic subparticles is called the mass defect (Δm).

Can be formulated:

Δm = [Z (mp + me) + (A-Z) mn] - m atom

where:

Δm = mass defect (amu)

mp = mass of a proton (1,007277 amu)

mn = mass of a neutron (1.008665 amu)

me = mass of an electron (0.000548597 amu)

matom = mass of nuclide (amu)

Z = atomic number

A = mass number

Atomic number (Z) = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass Number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons

Atomic Number (Z) = Mass Number (A) - Number of Neutrons

For Boron elements (₁₁⁵B) which have atomic number 5 and mass number 11, then:

number of protons = 5

number of electrons = 5

number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 11 - 5 = 6

then:

Δm = [5 (1.007277 + 0.000548597) + (6) 1.008665] - 11.009305

Δm = [5 (1.007826) + (6) 1.008665] - 11.009305

Δm = (5.03913 + 6.05199) - 11.009305

Δm = 11.09112 - 11.009305

Δm = 0.081815 amu

Answer:

0.07906687 amu

Explanation:

For Boron ₅B¹¹, the number of protons is 5 and the mass is 11. The mass is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons, so:

neutrons = 11 - 5 = 6

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus, so it is the mass of the protons + the mass of the neutrons. The mass of 1 proton is 1.00727647 amu/proton, and the mass of 1 neutron: 1.00866492 amu/neutron, so for the element given the theoretical mass (mt) is:

mt = 5* 1.00727647 amu/proton + 6*1.00866492 amu/neutron

mt = 11.08837187 amu

The mass defect (md) is the theorical mass less the real mass:

md = 11.08837187 - 11.009305

md = 0.07906687 amu

Before running a titration, you calculate the expected endpoint. However, when performing the experiment, you pass the expected

Leviafan [203]

The question is incomplete; the complete question is;

Before running a titration, you calculate the expected endpoint. However, when performing the experiment, you pass the expected endpoint with no visible color change. What is the most likely problem with the titration set- up? Select one

a) There was an air bubble in the burette tip.

b) There is not enough indicator in the analyte.

c) The burette tip is leaking titrant into the analyte.

d) The analyte solution is being stirred too quickly

Answer:

a) There was an air bubble in the burette tip.

Explanation:

Titration involves the determination of the concentration of a solution by measuring the volumes of reactants used in the reaction. The concentration of one of the species must be known while the concentration of the other specie is to be determined by the volumetric analysis.

However, if there are air bubbles at the tip of the burette, this will cause less volume of titrant to be delivered from the burette than expected. Hence, the analyst may think that a certain volume of titrant has been delivered while in reality, a lesser volume was actually delivered due to the air bubbles present. Hence, the analyst may pass the expected endpoint without any colour change because of this problem.

Classify these properties of the metal lithium as physical or chemical. Physical Chemical light enough to float on water silvery

ra1l [238]

The psychical properties do no change the composition of the lithium metal.

The chemical properties will change the composition of the lithium producing other substances.

light enough to float on water - physical property

silvery gray in color - physical property

changes from silvery gray to black when placed in moist air - chemical property

(in air the lithium will react with the oxygen forming the oxide which have a black color)

can be cut with a sharp knife - physical property

in the liquid state, it boils at 1317 °C - physical property

reacts violently with chlorine to form a white solid - chemical property

in the liquid state, it reacts spontaneously with its glass container, producing a hole in the container - chemical property

burns in oxygen with a bright red flame - chemical property

Answer:

Explanation:

An oxidizing accepts an electron and becomes reduced while a reducing agent loses an electron and become oxidized.

Chemical equation:

1) 2 N₂H₄ + N₂O₄ → 3 N₂ + 4 H₂O

2) Hydrazine ( N₂H₄) is being oxidized

Dinitrogen tetroxide N₂O₄ is being reduced

3) The reducing agent is Hydrazine ( N₂H₄) and the oxidizing agent is dinitrogen tetroxide (N₂O₄)
