Q.13.1 (a) Two stable isotopes of lithium _{3}^{6}\textrm{Li} and _{3}^{7}\textrm{Li} have respective abundances of 7.5\; ^{o}/_{o} and 92.5\; ^{o}/_{o} . These isotopes have masses 6.01512 \; u and 7.01600 \; u , respectively. Find the atomic mass of lithium.

Answer:

Mass of the two stable isotopes and their respective abundances are 6.01512 \; u and 7.01600 \; u and 7.5\; ^{o}/_{o} and 92.5\; ^{o}/_{o} .

m=\frac{6.01512\times7.5+7.01600\times92.5}{100}

m=6.940934 u

Q. 13.1(b) Boron has two stable isotopes, _{5}^{10}\textrm{B} and _{5}^{11}\textrm{B} . Their respective masses are 10.01294 \; u and 11.00931\; u , and the atomic mass of boron is 10.811 u. Find the abundances of _{5}^{10}\textrm{B} and _{5}^{11}\textrm{B} .

Answer:

The atomic mass of boron is 10.811 u

Mass of the two stable isotopes are 10.01294 \; u and 11.00931\; u respectively

Let the two isotopes have abundances x% and (100-x)%

\\10.811=\frac{10.01294\times x+11.00931\times(100-x)}{100} \\x=19.89\\ 100-x=80.11

Therefore the abundance of _{5}^{10}\textrm{B} is 19.89% and that of _{5}^{11}\textrm{B} is 80.11%

Q. 13.2 The three stable isotopes of neon: _{10}^{20}\textrm{Ne}, _{10}^{21}\textrm{Ne} and _{10}^{22}\textrm{Ne} have respective abundances of 90.51\; ^{o}/_{o} , 0.27\; ^{o}/_{o} and 9.22\; ^{o}/_{o} . The atomic masses of the three isotopes are 19.99\; u, 20.99\; u \; \; and\; \; 21.99 \; u, respectively. Obtain the average atomic mass of neon.

Answer:

The atomic masses of the three isotopes are 19.99 u(m 1 ), 20.99 u(m 2 ) and 21.99u(m 3 )

Their respective abundances are 90.51%(p 1 ), 0.27%(p 2 ) and 9.22%(p 3 )

\\m= \frac{19.99\times 90.51+20.99\times 0.27+21.99\times 9.22}{100}\\m=20.1771u

The average atomic mass of neon is 20.1771 u.

Q. 13.3 Obtain the binding energy( in MeV ) of a nitrogen nucleus (_{7}^{14}\textrm{N}) , given m (_{7}^{14}\textrm{N})=14.00307\; \; u

Answer:

m n = 1.00866 u

m p = 1.00727 u

Atomic mass of Nitrogen m= 14.00307 u

Mass defect \Delta m=7 \times m n +7 \times m p - m

\Delta m=7 \times 1.00866+7 \times 1.00727 - 14.00307

\Delta m=0.10844

Now 1u is equivalent to 931.5 MeV

E b =0.10844 \times 931.5

E b =101.01186 MeV

Therefore binding energy of a Nitrogen nucleus is 101.01186 MeV.

Q. 13.4 (i) Obtain the binding energy of the nuclei _{26}^{56}\textrm{Fe} and _{83}^{209}\textrm{Bi} in units of MeV from the following data:

(i)m (_{26}^{56}\textrm{Fe})=55.934939\; \; u

Answer:

m H = 1.007825 u

m n = 1.008665 u

The atomic mass of _{26}^{56}\textrm{Fe} is m=55.934939 u

Mass defect

\Delta m=(56-26)\times m_H+26\times m_p - m

\Delta m=30\times1.008665+26\times1.007825 - 55.934939

\Delta m=0.528461

Now 1u is equivalent to 931.5 MeV

E b =0.528461 \times 931.5

E b =492.2614215 MeV

Therefore the binding energy of a _{26}^{56}\textrm{Fe} nucleus is 492.2614215 MeV.

Average binding energy

=\frac{492.26}{56}MeV=8.79 MeV

Q. 13.4 (ii) Obtain the binding energy of the nuclei _{26}^{56}\textrm{Fe} and _{83}^{209}\textrm{Bi} in units of MeV from the following data:

(ii)m(_{83}^{209}\textrm{Bi})=208.980388\; \; u

Answer:

m H = 1.007825 u

m n = 1.008665 u

The atomic mass of _{83}^{209}\textrm{Bi} is m=208.980388 u

Mass defect

1646201017040

\Delta m=126 \times 1.008665+83 \times 1.007825 - 208.980388

\Delta m=1.760877 u

Now 1u is equivalent to 931.5 MeV

E b =1.760877 \times 931.5

E b =1640.2569255 MeV

Therefore the binding energy of a _{83}^{209}\textrm{Bi} nucleus is 1640.2569255 MeV.

Average\ binding\ energy=\frac{1640.25}{208.98}=7.84MeV

Q.13.5 A given coin has a mass of 3.0\; g . Calculate the nuclear energy that would be required to separate all the neutrons and protons from each other. For simplicity assume that the coin is entirely made of _{29}^{63}\textrm{Cu} atoms (of mass 62.92960\; \; u ).

Answer:

Mass of the coin is w = 3g

Total number of Cu atoms in the coin is n

\\n=\frac{w\times N_{A}}{Atomic\ Mass}\\ n=\frac{3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}}{62.92960}

n=2.871 \times 10 22

m H = 1.007825 u

m n = 1.008665 u

Atomic mass of _{29}^{63}\textrm{Cu} is m=62.92960 u

Mass defect \Delta m=(63-29) \times m n +29 \times m H - m

\Delta m=34 \times 1.008665+29 \times 1.007825 - 62.92960

\Delta m=0.591935 u

Now 1u is equivalent to 931.5 MeV

E b =0.591935 \times 931.5

E b =551.38745 MeV

Therefore binding energy of a _{29}^{63}\textrm{Cu} nucleus is 551.38745 MeV.

The nuclear energy that would be required to separate all the neutrons and protons from each other is

n \times E b =2.871 \times 10 22 \times 551.38745

=1.5832 \times 10 25 MeV

=1.5832 \times 10 25 \times 1.6 \times 10 -19 \times 10 6 J

=2.5331 \times 10 9 kJ

_{83}^{210}\textrm{Bi}\rightarrow _{84}^{210}\textrm{Po}+e^{-}+\bar{\nu }

Q.13.6 (v) Write nuclear reaction equations for

_{43}^{97}\textrm{Tc}\rightarrow _{42}^{97}\textrm{Mo}+e^{+}+\nu

Q.13.6 (vii) Write nuclear reaction equations for

_{54}^{120}\textrm{Xe}+e^{-}\rightarrow _{53}^{120}\textrm{I}+\nu

Q. 13.7 A radioactive isotope has a half-life of T years. How long will it take the activity to reduce to a) 3.125%, b) 1% of its original value?

Answer:

(a) The activity is proportional to the number of radioactive isotopes present

The number of half years in which the number of radioactive isotopes reduces to x% of its original value is n.

n=log_{2}(\frac{100}{x})

In this case

n=log_{2}(\frac{100}{3.125})=log_{2}32=5

It will take 5T years to reach 3.125% of the original activity.

(b) In this case

n=log_{2}(\frac{100}{1})=log_{2}100=6.64

It will take 6.64T years to reach 1% of the original activity.

Q.13.9 Obtain the amount of _{27}^{60}\textrm{Co} necessary to provide a radioactive source of 8.0 mCi strength. The half-life of _{27}^{60}\textrm{Co} is 5.3 years.

Answer:

Required activity=8.0 mCi

1 Ci=3.7 \times 10 10 decay s -1

8.0 mCi=8 \times 10 -3 \times 3.7 \times 10 10 =2.96 \times 10 8 decay s -1

T 1/2 =5.3 years

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{T_{1/2}}

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{5.3\times 365\times 24\times 3600}

\lambda =4.14\times 10^{-9}\ s^{-1}

\\\frac{\mathrm{d} N}{\mathrm{d} t}=-N\lambda \\ N=-\frac{\mathrm{d} N}{\mathrm{d} t}\times \frac{1}{\lambda }\\ N=-(-2.96\times 10^{8})\times \frac{1}{4.14\times 10^{-9}}\\ N=7.15\times 10^{16}\ atoms

Mass of those many atoms of Cu will be

w=\frac{7.15\times 10^{16}\times 60}{6.023\times 10^{23}}

w=7.12\times10^{-6} g

7.12 \times 10 -6 g of _{27}^{60}\textrm{Co} is necessary to provide a radioactive source of 8.0 mCi strength.

Q. 13.10 The half-life of _{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr} is 28 years. What is the disintegration rate of 15 mg of this isotope?

Answer:

T 1/2 =28 years

\\\lambda =\frac{0.693}{28\times 365\times 24\times 3600}\\ \lambda =7.85\times 10^{-10} \ decay\ s^{-1}

The number of atoms in 15 mg of _{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr} is

N=\frac{15\times 10^{-3}\times 6.023\times 10^{23}}{90}

N=1.0038 \times 10 20

The disintegration rate will be

\frac{\mathrm{d} N}{\mathrm{d} t}=-N\lambda

=-1.0038 \times 10 20 \times 7.85 \times 10 -10

=-7.88 \times 10 10 s -1

The disintegration rate is therefore 7.88 \times 10 10 decay s -1 .

Q.13.11 Obtain approximately the ratio of the nuclear radii of the gold isotope _{79}^{197}\textrm{Au} and the silver isotope _{47}^{107}\textrm{Ag}

Answer:

The nuclear radii are directly proportional to the cube root of the mass number.

The ratio of the radii of the given isotopes is therefore

\left ( \frac{197}{107} \right )^{1/3}=1.23

Q.13.12 Find the Q-value and the kinetic energy of the emitted \alpha -particle in the \alpha -decay of

(a)\; _{88}^{226}\textrm{Ra}

Given m(_{88}^{226}\textrm{Ra})=226.02540\; u, m(_{86}^{222}\textrm{Rn})=222.01750\; u,

m(_{86}^{222}\textrm{Rn})=220.01137\; u, m(_{84}^{216}\textrm{Po})=216.00189\; u,

Answer:

Mass defect is \Delta m

\Delta m=m(_{88}^{226}\textrm{Ra})-m(_{86}^{222}\textrm{Rn})-m(_{2}^{4}\textrm{He})

\Delta m=226.02540-222.0175-4.002603

\Delta m=0.005297 u

1 u = 931.5 MeV/c 2

Q-value= \Delta m \times 931.5

=4.934515 MeV

By using Linear Momentum Conservation and Energy Conservation

The kinetic energy of alpha particle =

\frac{mass\ of\ nucleus\ after\ decay}{mass\ of\ nucleus\ before\ decay}\times Q-value

= \frac{222.01750}{226.0254}\times 4.934515

=4.847 MeV

Q.13.12 (b) Find the Q-value and the kinetic energy of the emitted \alpha -particle in the \alpha -decay of

(b)\; _{86}^{220}\textrm{Rn}

Given m(_{88}^{226}\textrm{Ra})=226.02540\; u, m(_{86}^{222}\textrm{Rn})=222.01750\; u,

m(_{86}^{222}\textrm{Rn})=220.01137\; u, m(_{84}^{216}\textrm{Po})=216.00189\; u,

Answer:

Mass defect is \Delta m

\Delta m=m(_{86}^{222}\textrm{Rn})-m(_{84}^{216}\textrm{Po})-m(_{2}^{4}\textrm{He})

\Delta m=220.01137-216.00189-4.002603

\Delta m=0.006877 u

1 u = 931.5 MeV/c 2

Q-value= \Delta m \times 931.5

=6.406 MeV

By using Linear Momentum Conservation and Energy Conservation

The kinetic energy of alpha particle =

\frac{mass\ of\ nucleus\ after\ decay}{mass\ of\ nucleus\ before\ decay}\times Q-value

= \frac{216.00189}{220.01138}\times 6.406

=6.289 MeV

Q.13.13 The radionuclide ^{11}C decays according to

_{6}^{11}\textrm{C}\rightarrow B+e^{+}+v:T_{1/2}=20.3\; min
The maximum energy of the emitted positron is 0.960\; MeV. .

Given the mass values:

m(_{6}^{11}\textrm{C})=11.011434\; u and m(_{6}^{11}\textrm{B})=11.009305\; u
calculate Q and compare it with the maximum energy of the positron emitted.

Answer:

If we use atomic masses

\\\Delta m=m(_{6}^{11}\textrm{C})-m(_{5}^{11}\textrm{B})-2m_{e}\\ \Delta m=11.011434-11.009305-2\times 0.000548\\ \Delta m=0.001033u

Q-value= 0.001033 \times 931.5=0.9622 MeV which is comparable with a maximum energy of the emitted positron.

Q.13.14 The nucleus _{10}^{23}\textrm{Ne} decays by \beta ^{-} emission. Write down the \beta -decay equation and determine the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted. Given that:

(i) m (_{10}^{23}\textrm{Ne} ) = 22.994466 \; u

(ii) m (_{11}^{23}\textrm{Na} ) = 22.089770 \; u

Answer:

The \beta decay equation is

_{10}^{23}\textrm{Ne}\rightarrow _{11}^{23}\textrm{Na}+e^{-}+\bar{\nu }+Q

\\\Delta m=m(_{10}^{23}\textrm{Ne})-_{11}^{23}\textrm{Na}-m_{e}\\ \Delta m=22.994466-22.989770\\ \Delta m=0.004696u

(we did not subtract the mass of the electron as it is cancelled because of the presence of one more electron in the sodium atom)

Q=0.004696 \times 931.5

Q=4.3743 eV

The emitted nucleus is way heavier than the \beta particle and the energy of the antineutrino is also negligible and therefore the maximum energy of the emitted electron is equal to the Q value.

Q. 13.15 (i) The Q value of a nuclear reaction A + b \rightarrow C + d is defined by Q=[m_{A}+m_{b}-m_{c}-m_{d}]c^{2} where the masses refer to the respective nuclei. Determine from the given data the Q-value of the following reactions and state whether the reactions are exothermic or endothermic.

(i) _{1}^{1}\textrm{H}+_{1}^{3}\textrm{H}\rightarrow _{1}^{2}\textrm{H}+_{1}^{2}\textrm{H} the following

Atomic masses are given to be

m(_{1}^{2}\textrm{H})=2.014102\; u

m(_{1}^{3}\textrm{H})=3.0016049\; u

m(_{6}^{12}\textrm{H})=12.000000\; u

m(_{10}^{20}\textrm{Ne})=19.992439\; u

Answer:

\\\Delta m=m(_{1}^{1}\textrm{H})+m(_{1}^{3}\textrm{H})-2m(_{1}^{2}\textrm{H})\\ \Delta m=1.007825+3.0016049-2\times 2.014102\\ \Delta m=-0.00433

The above negative value of mass defect implies there will be a negative Q value and therefore the reaction is endothermic

Q. 13.15 (ii) The Q value of a nuclear reaction A + b \rightarrow C + d is defined by Q=[m_{A}+m_{b}-m_{c}-m_{d}]c^{2} where the masses refer to the respective nuclei. Determine from the given data the Q-value of the following reactions and state whether the reactions are exothermic or endothermic.

(ii) _{6}^{12}\textrm{C}+_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}\rightarrow _{10}^{20}\textrm{Ne}+_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}

Atomic masses are given to be

m(_{1}^{2}\textrm{H})=2.014102\; u

m(_{1}^{3}\textrm{H})=3.0016049\; u

m(_{6}^{12}\textrm{H})=12.000000\; u

m(_{10}^{20}\textrm{Ne})=19.992439\; u

Answer:

\\\Delta m=2m(_{6}^{12}\textrm{C})-m(_{10}^{20}\textrm{Ne})-m(_{2}^{4}\textrm{He})\\ \Delta m=2\times 12.00000-19.992439-4.002603\\ \Delta m=0.004958

The above positive value of mass defect implies Q value would be positive and therefore the reaction is exothermic

Q.13.16 Suppose, we think of fission of a _{26}^{56}\textrm{Fe} nucleus into two equal fragments, _{13}^{28}\textrm{Al} . Is the fission energetically possible? Argue by working out Q of the process. Given m ( _{26}^{56}\textrm{Fe} ) = 55.93494\; u and m ( _{13}^{28}\textrm{Al} ) = 27.98191\; u

Answer:

The reaction will be _{26}^{56}\textrm{Fe}\rightarrow _{13}^{28}\textrm{Al}+_{13}^{28}\textrm{Al}

The mass defect of the reaction will be

\\\Delta m=m(_{26}^{56}\textrm{Fe})-2m( _{13}^{28}\textrm{Al})\\ \Delta m=55.93494-2\times 27.98191\\ \Delta m=-0.02888u

Since the mass defect is negative the Q value will also negative and therefore the fission is not energetically possible

Q. 13.17 The fission properties of _{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu} are very similar to those of _{92}^{235}\textrm{U} . The average energy released per fission is 180 MeV. How much energy, in MeV, is released if all the atoms in 1 kg of pure _{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu} undergo fission?

Answer:

Number of atoms present in 1 kg(w) of _{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu} =n

\\n=\frac{w\times N_{A}}{mass\ number\ of\ Pu}\\ n=\frac{1000\times 6.023\times 10^{23}}{239}\\n=2.52\times 10^{24}

Energy per fission (E)=180 MeV

Total Energy released if all the atoms in 1 kg _{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu} undergo fission = E \times n

=180 \times 2.52 \times 10 24

=4.536 \times 10 26 MeV

Q. 13.18 A 1000\; MW fission reactor consumes half of its fuel in 5.00 \; y . How much _{92}^{235}\textrm{U} did it contain initially? Assume that the reactor operates 80\; ^{}o/_{0} of the time, that all the energy generated arises from the fission of _{92}^{235}\textrm{U} and that this nuclide is consumed only by the fission process.

Answer:

The amount of energy liberated on fission of 1 _{92}^{235}\textrm{U} atom is 200 MeV.

The amount of energy liberated on fission of 1g _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}

\\=\frac{200\times 10^{6} \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.023\times 10^{23}}{235}\\=8.2\times 10^{10}\ Jg^{-1}

Total Energy produced in the reactor in 5 years

\\=1000\times 10^{6}\times 0.8\times 5\times 365\times 24\times 3600\\ =1.261\times 10^{17}\ J

Mass of _{92}^{235}\textrm{U} which underwent fission, m

=\frac{1.261\times 10^{17}}{8.2\times 10^{10}}

=1537.8 kg

The amount present initially in the reactor = 2m

=2 \times 1537.8

=3075.6 kg

Q. 13.19 How long can an electric lamp of 100W be kept glowing by fusion of 2.0 kg of deuterium? Take the fusion reaction as

_{1}^{2}\textrm{H}+_{1}^{2}\textrm{H}\rightarrow _{2}^{3}\textrm{He}+n+3.27\; MeV

Answer:

The energy liberated on the fusion of two atoms of deuterium= 3.27 MeV

Number of fusion reactions in 2 kg of deuterium = N A \times 500

The energy liberated by fusion of 2.0 kg of deuterium atoms E

\\=3.27\times 10^{6}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\times 500\\=1.576\times 10^{14}\ J

Power of lamp (P)= 100 W

Time the lamp would glow using E amount of energy is T=

\\=\frac{E}{P}\\ =\frac{1.576\times 10^{14}}{100\times 3600\times 24\times 365}

=4.99 \times 10 4 years

Q. 13.20 Calculate the height of the potential barrier for a head on collision of two deuterons. (Hint: The height of the potential barrier is given by the Coulomb repulsion between the two deuterons when they just touch each other. Assume that they can be taken as hard spheres of radius 2.0 fm.)

Answer:

For a head-on collision of two deuterons, the closest distances between their centres will be d=2 \times r

d=2 \times 2.0

d=4.0 fm

d=4 \times 10 -15 m

charge on each deuteron = charge of one proton=q =1.6 \times 10 -19 C

The maximum electrostatic potential energy of the system during the head-on collision will be E

\\=\frac{q^{2}}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}d}\\ =\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^{2}}{4\times 10^{-15}}\ J\\ =\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^{2}}{4\times 10^{-15}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\ eV\\=360\ keV

The above basically means to bring two deuterons from infinity to each other would require 360 keV of work to be done or would require 360 keV of energy to be spent.

Q. 13.21 From the relation R=R_{0}A^{1/3} , where R_{0} is a constant and A is the mass number of a nucleus, show that the nuclear matter density is nearly constant (i.e. independent of A).

Answer:

Mass of an element with mass number A will be about A u. The density of its nucleus, therefore, would be

\\d=\frac{m}{v}\\ d=\frac{A}{\frac{4\pi }{3}R^{3}}\\d=\frac{A}{\frac{4\pi }{3}(R_{0}A^{1/3})^{3}}\\d=\frac{3}{4\pi R{_{0}}^{3}}

As we can see the above density comes out to be independent of mass number A and R 0 is constant, so matter density is nearly constant

Q. 13.22 For the \beta ^{+} (positron) emission from a nucleus, there is another competing process known as electron capture (electron from an inner orbit, say, the K–shell, is captured by the nucleus and a neutrino is emitted).

e^{+}+_{z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+v

Show that if \beta ^{+} emission is energetically allowed, electron capture is necessarily allowed but not vice–versa.

Answer:

For the electron capture, the reaction would be

_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}+e^{-}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+\nu +Q_{1}

The mass defect and q value of the above reaction would be

\\\Delta m_{1}=m(_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X})+m_{e}-m(_{Z-1}^{A}\textrm{Y})\\ Q_{1}=([m(_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X})-m(_{Z-1}^{A}\textrm{Y})]+m_{e})c^{2}

where m N (_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}) and m N (_{Z-1}^{A}\textrm{Y}) are the nuclear masses of elements X and Y respectively

For positron emission, the reaction would be

_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+e^{+}+\bar{\nu }+Q_{2}

The mass defect and q value for the above reaction would be

\\\Delta m_{2}=m(_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X})-m(_{Z-1}^{A}\textrm{Y})-m_{e}\\ Q_{2}=([m(_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X})-m(_{Z-1}^{A}\textrm{Y})]-m_{e})c^{2}

From the above values, we can see that if Q 2 is positive Q 1 will also be positive but Q 1 being positive does not imply that Q 2 will also have to positive.

Q.13.23 In a periodic table the average atomic mass of magnesium is given as 24.312 u. The average value is based on their relative natural abundance on earth. The three isotopes and their masses are _{12}^{24}\textrm{Mg}(23.98504\; u) , _{12}^{25}\textrm{Mg}(24.98584\; u) and _{12}^{26}\textrm{Mg}(25.98259\; u) . The natural abundance of is 78.99% by mass. Calculate the abundances of other two isotopes.

Answer:

Let the abundances of _{12}^{25}\textrm{Mg} and _{12}^{26}\textrm{Mg} be x and y respectively.

x+y+78.99=100

y=21.01-x

The average atomic mass of Mg is 24.312 u

\\24.312=\frac{78.99\times 23.98504+x\times 24.98584+(100-x)\times 25.98259}{100}\\ x\approx 9.3\\ y=21.01-x\\ y=21.01-9.3\\ y=11.71

The abundances of _{12}^{25}\textrm{Mg} and _{12}^{26}\textrm{Mg} are 9.3% and 11.71% respectively

Q.13.24 (i) The neutron separation energy is defined as the energy required to remove a neutron from the nucleus. Obtain the neutron separation energies of the nuclei _{20}^{41}\textrm{Ca} from the following data:

m(_{20}^{40}\textrm{Ca})=39.962591\; u

m(_{20}^{41}\textrm{Ca})=40.962278 \; u

m(_{13}^{26}\textrm{Al})=25.986895 \; u

m(_{13}^{27}\textrm{Al})=26.981541 \; u

Answer:

The reaction showing the neutron separation is

_{20}^{41}\textrm{Ca}+E\rightarrow _{20}^{40}\textrm{Ca}+_{0}^{1}\textrm{n}

\\E=(m(_{20}^{40}\textrm{Ca})+m(_{0}^{1}\textrm{n})-m(_{20}^{41}\textrm{Ca}))c^{2}\\ E=(39.962591+1.008665-40.962278)c^{2}\\ E=(0.008978)u\times c^{2}

But 1u=931.5 MeV/c 2

Therefore E=(0.008978) \times 931.5

E=8.363007 MeV

Therefore to remove a neutron from the _{20}^{41}\textrm{Ca} nucleus 8.363007 MeV of energy is required

Q.13.24 (ii) The neutron separation energy is defined as the energy required to remove a neutron from the nucleus. Obtain the neutron separation energies of the nuclei _{13}^{27}\textrm{Al} from the following data:

m(_{20}^{40}\textrm{Ca})=39.962591\; u

m(_{20}^{41}\textrm{Ca})=40.962278 \; u

m(_{13}^{26}\textrm{Al})=25.986895 \; u

m(_{13}^{27}\textrm{Al})=26.981541 \; u

Answer:

The reaction showing the neutron separation is

_{13}^{27}\textrm{Al}+E\rightarrow _{13}^{26}\textrm{Al}+_{0}^{1}\textrm{n}

\\E=(m(_{13}^{26}\textrm{Ca})+m(_{0}^{1}\textrm{n})-m(_{13}^{27}\textrm{Ca}))c^{2}\\ E=(25.986895+1.008665-26.981541)c^{2}\\ E=(0.014019)u\times c^{2}

But 1u=931.5 MeV/c 2

Therefore E=(0.014019) \times 931.5

E=13.059 MeV

Therefore to remove a neutron from the _{13}^{27}\textrm{Al} nucleus 13.059 MeV of energy is required

Q.13.25 A source contains two phosphorous radio nuclides _{15}^{32}\textrm{P}(T_{1/2}=14.3d) and _{15}^{33}\textrm{P}(T_{1/2}=25.3d) . Initially, 10% of the decays come from _{15}^{33}\textrm{P} . How long one must wait until 90% do so?

Answer:

Let initially there be N 1 atoms of _{15}^{32}\textrm{P} and N 2 atoms of _{15}^{33}\textrm{P} and let their decay constants be \lambda _{1} and \lambda _{2} respectively

Since initially the activity of _{15}^{33}\textrm{P} is 1/9 times that of _{15}^{32}\textrm{P} we have

N_{1 } \lambda_{1}=\frac{N_{2}\lambda _{2}}{9} (i)

Let after time t the activity of _{15}^{33}\textrm{P} be 9 times that of _{15}^{32}\textrm{P}

N_{1 } \lambda_{1}e^{-\lambda _{1}t}=9N_{2}\lambda _{2}e^{-\lambda _{2}t} (ii)

Dividing equation (ii) by (i) and taking the natural log of both sides we get

\\-\lambda _{1}t=ln81-\lambda _{2}t \\t=\frac{ln81}{\lambda _{2}-\lambda _{1}}

where \lambda _{2}=0.048/ day and \lambda _{1}=0.027/ day

t comes out to be 208.5 days

Q.13.26 Under certain circumstances, a nucleus can decay by emitting a particle more massive than an \alpha -particle. Consider the following decay processes:

_{88}^{223}\textrm{Ra}\rightarrow _{82}^{209}\textrm{Pb}+_{6}^{14}\textrm{C}

_{88}^{223}\textrm{Ra}\rightarrow _{86}^{219}\textrm{Rn}+_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}

Calculate the Q-values for these decays and determine that both are energetically allowed.

Answer:

_{88}^{223}\textrm{Ra}\rightarrow _{82}^{209}\textrm{Pb}+_{6}^{14}\textrm{C}

\\\Delta m=m(_{88}^{223}\textrm{Ra})-m(_{82}^{209}\textrm{Pb})-m(_{6}^{14}\textrm{C})\\ =223.01850-208.98107-14.00324 \\=0.03419u

1 u = 931.5 MeV/c 2

Q=0.03419 \times 931.5

=31.848 MeV

As the Q value is positive the reaction is energetically allowed

_{88}^{223}\textrm{Ra}\rightarrow _{86}^{219}\textrm{Rn}+_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}

\\\Delta m=m(_{88}^{223}\textrm{Ra})-m(_{86}^{219}\textrm{Rn})-m(_{2}^{4}\textrm{He})\\ =223.01850-219.00948-4.00260 \\=0.00642u

1 u = 931.5 MeV/c 2

Q=0.00642 \times 931.5

=5.98 MeV

As the Q value is positive the reaction is energetically allowed

Q.13.27 Consider the fission of _{92}^{238}\textrm{U} by fast neutrons. In one fission event, no neutrons are emitted and the final end products, after the beta decay of the primary fragments, are _{58}^{140}\textrm{Ce} and _{44}^{99}\textrm{Ru} . Calculate Q for this fission process. The relevant atomic and particle masses are

m(_{92}^{238}\textrm{U})=238.05079\; u

m(_{58}^{140}\textrm{Ce})=139.90543\; u

m(_{44}^{99}\textrm{Ru})= 98.90594\; u

Answer:

The fission reaction given in the question can be written as

_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}+_{0}^{1}\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{58}^{140}\textrm{Ce}+_{44}^{99}\textrm{Ru}+10e^{-}

The mass defect for the above reaction would be

\Delta m=m_{N}(_{92}^{238}\textrm{U})+m(_{0}^{1}\textrm{n})-m_{N}(_{58}^{140}\textrm{Ce})-m_{N}(_{44}^{99}\textrm{Ce})-10m_{e}

In the above equation, m N represents nuclear masses

\\\Delta m=m(_{92}^{238}\textrm{U})-92m_{e}+m(_{0}^{1}\textrm{n})-m(_{58}^{140}\textrm{Ce})+58m_{e}-m(_{44}^{99}\textrm{Ru})+44m_{e}-10m_{e} \\\Delta m=m(_{92}^{238}\textrm{U})+m(_{0}^{1}\textrm{n})-m(_{58}^{140}\textrm{Ce})-m(_{44}^{99}\textrm{Ru})\\ \Delta m=238.05079+1.008665-139.90543-98.90594\\ \Delta m=0.247995u

but 1u =931.5 MeV/c 2

Q=0.247995 \times 931.5

Q=231.007 MeV

Q value of the fission process is 231.007 MeV

Q.13.28 (i) Consider the D–T reaction (deuterium-tritium fusion)

_{1}^{2}\textrm{H}+_{1}^{3}\textrm{H}\rightarrow _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}+n

(a) Calculate the energy released in MeV in this reaction from the data:

m(_{1}^{2}\textrm{H})=2.014102\; u

m(_{1}^{3}\textrm{H})=3.016049\; u

Answer:

The mass defect of the reaction is

\\\Delta m=m(_{1}^{2}\textrm{H})+m(_{1}^{3}\textrm{H})-m(_{2}^{4}\textrm{He})-m(_{0}^{1}\textrm{n})\\ \Delta m=2.014102+3.016049-4.002603-1.008665\\ \Delta m=0.018883u

1u = 931.5 MeV/c 2

Q=0.018883 \times 931.5=17.59 MeV

Q.13.28 (b) Consider the D–T reaction (deuterium–tritium fusion)

_{1}^{2}\textrm{H}+_{1}^{3}\textrm{H}\rightarrow _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}+n

(b) Consider the radius of both deuterium and tritium to be approximately 2.0 fm. What is the kinetic energy needed to overcome the coulomb repulsion between the two nuclei? To what temperature must the gas be heated to initiate the reaction? (Hint: Kinetic energy required for one fusion event =average thermal kinetic energy available with the interacting particles = 2(3kT/2) ; k = Boltzman’s constant, T = absolute temperature.)

Answer:

To initiate the reaction both the nuclei would have to come in contact with each other.

Just before the reaction the distance between their centres would be 4.0 fm.

The electrostatic potential energy of the system at that point would be

\\U=\frac{q^{2}}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}d}\\ U=\frac{9\times 10^{9}(1.6\times 10^{-19})^{2}}{4\times 10^{-15}}\\U=5.76\times 10^{-14}J

The same amount of Kinetic Energy K would be required to overcome the electrostatic forces of repulsion to initiate the reaction

It is given that K=2\times \frac{3kT}{2}

Therefore the temperature required to initiate the reaction is

\\T=\frac{K}{3k}\\ =\frac{5.76\times 10^{-14}}{3\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}}\\=1.39\times 10^{9}\ K

Q. 13.29 Obtain the maximum kinetic energy of \beta - particles, and the radiation frequencies of \gamma decays in the decay scheme shown in Fig. 13.6. You are given that

m(^{198}Au)=197.968233\; u

m(^{198}Hg)=197.966760 \; u

1594197218194

Answer:

\gamma _{1} decays from 1.088 MeV to 0 V

Frequency of \gamma _{1} is

\\\nu _{1}=\frac{1.088\times 10^{6}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{6.62\times 10^{-34}}\\ \nu _{1}=2.637\times 10^{20}\ Hz Plank's constant, h=6.62 \times 10 -34 Js E=h\nu

Similarly, we can calculate frequencies of \gamma _{2} and \gamma _{3}

\\\nu _{2}=9.988\times 10^{19}\ Hz\\ \nu _{3}=1.639\times 10^{20}\ Hz

The energy of the highest level would be equal to the energy released after the decay

Mass defect is

\\\Delta m=m(_{79}^{196}\textrm{U})-m(_{80}^{196}\textrm{Hg})\\ \Delta m=197.968233-197.966760\\\Delta m=0.001473u

We know 1u = 931.5 MeV/c 2

Q value= 0.001473 \times 931.5=1.3721 MeV

The maximum Kinetic energy of \beta _{1}^{-} would be 1.3721-1.088=0.2841 MeV

The maximum Kinetic energy of \beta _{2}^{-} would be 1.3721-0.412=0.9601 MeV

Q. 13.30 Calculate and compare the energy released by a) fusion of 1.0 kg of hydrogen deep within Sun and b) the fission of 1.0 kg of 235U in a fission reactor.

Answer:

(a) _{1}^{1}\textrm{H} _{1}^{1}\textrm{H}+_{1}^{1}\textrm{H}+_{1}^{1}\textrm{H}+_{1}^{1}\textrm{H}\rightarrow _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}

The above fusion reaction releases the energy of 26 MeV

Number of Hydrogen atoms in 1.0 kg of Hydrogen is 1000N A

Therefore 250N A such reactions would take place

The energy released in the whole process is E 1

\\=250\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\times 26\times 10^{6}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\=6.2639\times 10^{14}\ J

(b) The energy released in fission of one _{92}^{235}\textrm{U} atom is 200 MeV

Number of _{92}^{235}\textrm{U} atoms present in 1 kg of _{92}^{235}\textrm{U} is N

\\N=\frac{1000\times 6.023\times 10^{23}}{235}\\ N=2.562\times 10^{24}

The energy released on fission of N atoms is E 2

\\E=2.562\times 10^{24}\times 200\times 10^{6}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\ E=8.198\times 10^{13}J

\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=\frac{6.2639\times 10^{14}}{8.198\times 10^{13}}\approx 8

Q. 13.31 Suppose India had a target of producing by 2020 AD, 200,000 MW of electric power, ten percent of which was to be obtained from nuclear power plants. Suppose we are given that, on an average, the efficiency of utilization (i.e. conversion to electric energy) of thermal energy produced in a reactor was 25%. How much amount of fissionable uranium would our country need per year by 2020? Take the heat energy per fission of 235U to be about 200MeV.

Answer:

Let the amount of energy to be produced using nuclear power per year in 2020 is E

E=\frac{200000\times 10^{6}\times 0.1\times 365\times 24\times 3600}{0.25}\ J

(Only 10% of the required electrical energy is to be produced by Nuclear power and only 25% of therm-nuclear is successfully converted into electrical energy)

Amount of Uranium required to produce this much energy is M

=\frac{200000\times 10^{6}\times 0.1\times 365\times 24\times 3600\times 235}{0.25\times 200\times 10^{6}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\times 1000} (N A =6.023 \times 10 23 , Atomic mass of Uranium is 235 g)

=3.076 \times 10 4 kg
