Concept explainers
(a)
To calculate:Mass of the atom
(a)
Answer to Problem 7PP
The mass of nitrogen isotope is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Mass defect
Mass of hydrogen
Mass of neutron
Atomic number,
Formula used:
Formula to calculate mass defect,
Where,
Calculation:
To obtain the number of protons,
As the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number
Number of protons
Number of neutrons
Substitute the values in above formula,
Number of neutrons
Mass defect can be calculated by formula,
Rearranging the above formula to get
Substituting the values in above formula,
Conclusion:
The mass of nitrogen isotope is
(b)
