Verify the Q values reported in Eqs. 43-13, 43-14, and 43-15. The needed masses are

H11.007825uHe44.002603uH22.014102un1.008665uH33.016049u

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Q values are verified.

Step by step solution

01

Describe the expression for energy

The expression for energy is given by,

Q=-mc2

Here, Q is the energy release in a reaction,m is the mass difference between the parent nuclei and the daughter nuclei, and c is the velocity of light.

02

Verify the Q values

For the first reaction, the energy equation will be as follows.

Q=2m2H-m3H-mnc2.........1

Substitute all the known values in equation (1).

Q=22.014102u-3.016049u-1.008665u931.5MeV/u=3.25MeV

For the second reaction, the energy equation will be as follows.

Q=2m2H-m3H-m1Hc2.........2

Substitute all the known values in equation (2).

Q=22.014102u-3.016049u-1.007825u931.5MeV/u=4.03MeV

For the third reaction, the energy equation will be as follows.

Q=m2H-m3H-mHe-mnc2.........3

Substitute all the known values in equation (3).

Q=22.014102u-3.016049u-1.002603u-1.008665931.5MeV/u=17.59MeV

The calculated Q values are same as the given in equations.

Therefore, the Q values are verified.

To make the newly discovered, very large elements of the periodic table, researchers shoot a medium-size nucleus at a large nucleus. Sometimes a projectile nucleus and a target nucleus fuse to form one of the very large elements. In such a fusion, is the mass of the product greater than or less than the sum of the masses of the projectile and target nuclei?

A thermal neutron (with approximately zero kinetic energy) is absorbed by a238Unucleus. How much energy is transferred from mass-energy to the resulting oscillation of the nucleus? Here are some atomic masses and neutron mass.

Question: Assume that immediately after the fission of U236according to Eq. 43-1, the resulting Xe140andSr94nuclei are just touching at their surfaces. (a) Assuming the nuclei to be spherical, calculate the electric potential energy associated with the repulsion between the two fragments. (Hint: Use Eq. 42-3 to calculate the radii of the fragments.) (b) Compare this energy with the energy released in a typical fission event.

The uncompressed radius of the fuel pellet of Sample Problem 43.05 is 20m. Suppose that the compressed fuel pellet 鈥渂urns鈥 with an efficiency of 10%鈥攖hat is, only 10% of the deuterons and 10% of the tritons participate in the fusion reaction of Eq. 43-15. (a) How much energy is released in each such micro explosion of a pellet? (b) To how much TNT is each such pellet equivalent? The heat of combustion of TNT is 4.6 MJ/kg . (c) If a fusion reactor is constructed on the basis of 100 micro explosions per second, what power would be generated? (Part of this power would be used to operate the lasers.)

Question: Consider the fission of U238by fast neutrons. In one fission event, no neutrons are emitted and the final stable end products, after the beta decay of the primary fission fragments, are C140eandRu99. (a) What is the total of the beta-decay events in the two beta-decay chains? (b) Calculate for this fission process. The relevant atomic and particle masses are
