Acarbon-12 atom has a mass defect of 0.09564 amu. which setup is used to calculate nuclear binding energy? a. 0.09564 amu x (1.6606 x 10–27 kg)/amu x (3.0 x 108)2 b. 0.09564 amu x 1 amu/(1.6606 x 10–27 kg) x (3.0 x 108)2c. 0.09564 amu x (3.0 x 108)2d. 0.09564 amu x (1.6606 x 10–27 kg)/amu x (3.0 x 108)

a. 0.09564 amu x  (1.6606 x  10–27 kg)/amu x (3.0 x  108)2  

b. 0.09564 amu x  1 amu/(1.6606 x  10–27 kg) x  (3.0 x 108)2

c. 0.09564 amu x  (3.0 x 108)2

d. 0.09564 amu x  (1.6606 x  10–27 kg)/amu x  (3.0 x  108)  

first option (a) 0.09564 amu x  (1.6606 x  10–27 kg)/amu x (3.0 x  108)2  

A

Explanation:

Got it right on the instruction on Edge.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
