If the binding energy per nucleon in \({ }_{3}^{7} \mathrm{Li}\) and \({ }_{2}^{4} \mathrm{He}\) nuclei are \(5.60 \mathrm{MeV}\) and \(7.06 \mathrm{MeV}\) respectively, then in the reaction \({ }_{1}^{1} \mathrm{H}+{ }_{3}^{7} \mathrm{Li} \rightarrow 2{ }_{2}^{4} \mathrm{He}\) energy of proton must be (A) \(39.2 \mathrm{MeV}\) (B) \(28.24 \mathrm{MeV}\) (C) \(17.28 \mathrm{MeV}\) (D) \(1.46 \mathrm{MeV}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The energy of the proton (\({}_{1}^{1}\mathrm{H}\)) in the reaction provided is \(17.28 \mathrm{MeV}\). This corresponds to option (C) in the given choices.

Step by step solution

01

– Calculate Initial Total Energy

First calculate initial total energy of proton and Lithium. For Lithium (\({ }_{3}^{7}\mathrm{Li}\)) nucleus, we know that the binding energy per nucleon is 5.60 MeV. Total energy is calculated by multiplying energy per nucleon with number of nucleons (7 nucleons in this case). The proton (\({}_{1}^{1}\mathrm{H}\)) has no binding energy since it's just one nucleon. So initial total energy is \(5.60 \mathrm{MeV}\times 7 + 0 = 39.2 \mathrm{MeV}\)
02

- Calculate Final Total Energy

Next, calculate the final total energy. In the product side, there are 2 Helium (\({}_{2}^{4} \mathrm{He}\)) nuclei each with 4 nucleons. The binding energy per nucleon is given as 7.06 MeV. Total final energy is \(2\times 4 \times 7.06\mathrm{MeV}=56.48\mathrm{MeV}\).
03

- Calculate the Energy of Proton

From conservation of energy, the total energy before the reaction is equal to total energy after the reaction. So if \(E_{p}\) represents the energy of the proton, then \(E_{p} + 39.2\mathrm{MeV} = 56.48\mathrm{MeV}\). Simplifying gives us \(E_{p} = 56.48\mathrm{MeV} - 39.2\mathrm{MeV} = 17.28\mathrm{MeV}\).
