Express your answer numerically in joules per mole.

Solutions

Expert Solution

atomic number of K = 19.

number of protons = 19

number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

number of neutrons = 39 - 19 = 20

mass of one proton = 1.007276 amu

mass of 19 protons = 19 x 1.007276 amu = 19.138244 amu

mass of one neutrons = 1.008665 amu

mass of 20 neutrons = 20 x 1.008665 amu = 20.1733 amu

Part-A

expected mass of Potassium = 19.138244 amu+ 20.1733 amu= 39.311544 amu

actual mass of Potassium = 39.0983 amu

mass defect = 39.311544 amu - 39.0983 amu = 0.213244 amu

mass defect = 0.213244 amu

1 amu = 1.66 x10^-27 Kg

0.213244 amu ?

                       = 0.213244 x 1.66 x10-27 = 0.353985 x10^-27 Kg

mass defect = 3.54 x 10^-28 Kg

Part-C

Velocity of light = C = 3.0 x 10^8 m/sec

Binding energy = mc^2

Binding energy = 3.54x10^-28 x ( 3.0x10^8)^2

Binding energy = 31.86 x10^-12 J

Binding energy = 3.186 x10^-11 J/mole

If you drop a proton and a neutron in a gravitational field, they both fall, but the proton has a charge and accelerating charges radiate energy, so that leaves less kinetic energy for the proton and by this reasoning, it should fall more slowly than a charge-free object. The issue is discussed but not in the terms above in Peierls's "Surprises in Theoretical Physics" in the chapter "radiation in hyperbolic motion", but I didn't understand the chapter well enough (or...

(a) You decided to turn a neutron into a proton. Making sure that the charge is conserved, you wrote down n → p + e-. When you actually did the experiment, an antineutrino came out in addition, making the actual interaction n → p + e -+ ¯ν. Among what needs to be conserved, what was not conserved in the interaction without the antineutrino? (b) You managed to capture the emitted electron inside of a one-dimensional infinite potential well with...

Outside the nucleus, the neutron itself is radioactive and decays into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. The half-life of a neutron (mass = 1.675 × 10-27 kg) outside the nucleus is 10.4 min. On average, over what distance x would a beam of 5.55-eV neutrons travel before the number of neutrons decreased to 75.0% of its initial value? Ignore relativistic effects.
