Chapter 42: Q 3 Exercise (page 1236)

Calculate the nuclear diameters of(a)He4,(b)Fe56, and(c)U238.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Therefore, the nuclear radius and diameters are:

a.)r=1.904fm,d=3.8097fmb.)r=4.59103fm,d=9.18206fmc.)r=7.43658fm,d=14.87317fm

Step by step solution

01

Given information

ro=1.2fm

For radius we have,

r=roA1/3

For diameter we have,

d=2路r

02

Explanation

(a)The radius and diameter of the nucleus of 4He must be determined:

The radius is:

r=roA1/3r=(1.2fm)(4)1/3r=(1.2fm)(1.587)r=1.904fm

The diameter is:

d=2路rd=2路1.904fmd=3.8097fm

(b)The radius and diameter of the nucleus of Fe56must be determined:

The radius is:

r=roA1/3r=(1.2fm)(56)1/3r=(1.2fm)(3.82586)r=4.59103fm

The diameter is:

d=2rd=2脳4.59103fmd=9.18206fm

03

Explanation

(c)The radius and diameter of the nucleus of U238must be determined:

The radius is:

r=roA1/3r=(1.2fm)(238)1/3r=(1.2fm)(6.19715)r=7.43658fm

The diameter is:

d=2rd=2脳7.43658fmd=14.87317fm

We鈥檝e noted that fewer than 10%of the known nuclei are stable (i.e., not radioactive). Because nuclei are characterized by two independent numbers, Nand Z, it is useful to show the known nuclei on a plot of neutron number Nversus proton numberZ.

Stars are powered by nuclear reactions that fuse hydrogen into helium. The fate of many stars, once most of the hydrogen is used up, is to collapse, under gravitational pull, into a neutron star. The force of gravity becomes so large that protons and electrons are fused into neutrons in the reaction p+ + e- S n + n. The entire star is then a tightly packed ball of neutrons with the density of nuclear matter. a. Suppose the sun collapses into a neutron star. What will its radius be? Give your answer in km. b. The sun鈥檚 rotation period is now 27 days. What will its rotation period be after it collapses? Rapidly rotating neutron stars emit pulses of radio waves at the rotation frequency and are known as pulsars

What kind of decay, if any, can occur for the nuclei in

FIGURE Q42.7?

137 Cs is a common product of nuclear fission. Suppose an accident spills 550 mCi of 137 Cs in a lab room.

a. What mass of 137 Cs is spilled?

b. If the spill is not cleaned up, how long will it take until the radiation level drops to an acceptable level, for a room this size, of 25 mCi?

a. How do we know the strong force exists?

b. How do we know the strong force is short range?
