binding energy (in J) and the nuclear binding energy per nucleon
of
241
Pu
94
(241.0568453 amu).
Part 2.
A freshly isolated sample of
90Y was found to have an activity of
8.2 × 105
disintegrations per minute at 1:00
p.m. on December 3, 2006. At 2:15 p.m. on December 17, 2006, its
activity was measured again and found to be 2.2 × 104 disintegrations per minute. Calculate the
half-life of 90Y.
Calculate the mass defect and nuclear binding energy (in Joules
per nucleon) for C-16, a radioactive isotope of carbon with an
actual mass of 16.01470 amu. The subatomic particle masses are: e–
= 0.00055 amu, p + = 1.0073 amu, n0 = 1.0086 amu and 1 amu = 1.6605
x10–27 kg.
Nuclear binding energy and fusion a) Using Einstein’s
energy-mass equivalence, calculate the energy in MeV corresponding
to one atomic mass unit u. b) Now, consider the fusion process of a
deuterium nucleus and a proton into a Helium-3 nucleus: 2 1H +1 1 H
→ 3 2He (i) Given the masses of the nuclei M( 2 1H) = 2.014102 u
and M( 3 2He) = 3.016030 u, calculate the mass defects of the 2 1H
and 3 2He nuclei in...
