All the bromine is used up, and 2.07 g of magnesium bromide is produced. What mass of magnesium remains unreacted?arrow_forwardUranium-238 (U238) has three more neutrons than uranium-235 (U235). Compared to the speed of sound in a bar of U235, is the speed of sound in a bar of U238 higher, lower, or the same? There are several factors that play a role. (a) Chemically, the atoms of these two isotopes behave in essentially identical ways, since the number of protons (92) is identical and the clouds of 92 electrons are nearly identical. The interatomic distance, and the effective "stiffness" of the interatomic bond, both depend on the chemical properties of the atoms. Therefore, which of the following statements are true? O The effective stiffness of the interatomic "spring" is greater for U238 because the mass is greater. O The effective stiffness of the interatomic "spring" is the same in the two isotopes, since this "spring" is a model for the interactions of the outer electrons, which are the same for different isotopes of the same atom. O An atom with more mass in the nucleus is bigger, so the distance…arrow_forward

The mass of an atom is less than that of the combined masses of the nuclear particles from which it is formed. This "mass loss" is an indication of the stablity of the atom's nucleus. In order to compare different atoms, the relative mass loss (in g/mol) is defined as: [(number protons x mass of 'H)+(number of neutrons x mass of n)] - atomic mass number of protons + number of neutrons The atom's binding energy (the energy associated with holding the nucleus together) can be calculated as: relative mass loss (kg/mol) x (2.998 x 10°m/s) The resulting units are joules/mole. Because calculating the relative mass loss involves dividing by the total number of nucleons (protons + neutrons), the binding energy is called the 'binding energy per nucleon.'
