Atomic and nuclear physics question
U-235 sphere the size of a Tootsie Pop Assume that a spherical volume of pure U-235 is the size of a Tootsie Pop. The per capita electrical energy usage (i.e., per person per year) in the U.S. is 11,496 kw-hrs a) How many years would this amount of U-235 power the average person if all the U-235 atoms were fissioned? b) What would be the approximate volume of the waste produced, when the entire sample has fissioned? (Describe this qualitatively.) Assumptions to use: • Pop diameter = 1.25 inch • Density of the U-235 sample = 18.95 g/cc . The atomic mass is 235.044 amu • 180 MeV of heat energy are available from each fission . The efficiency for thermal to electric conversion is 0.32 . Avogadro's number = 6.022e23.
The rate of decay of the radioactive isotope Free Neutron 239 is given by: M = -1.1 x 10-³M where M is the mass of the isotope in grams and t is time measured in minutes. A sample initially contains 3 grams of the isotope. What is the mass of the isotope present in the sample after 320 minutes? The mass is grams. Round your answer to 3 significant figures, if needed. b) How long does it take for the mass of the isotope in the sample to fall to 1.5 gram? It takes t = minutes. Round your answer to the nearest integer if needed.
d) The equation below describes the disintegration of a bismuth nucleus into a thallium nucleus and an alpha-particle. During the reaction energy Q is released. 212 208 Bi He + 83 81 TI + energy released Q. The masses in the atomic mass unit u are as follows: 212 83 208 Bi = 211.99127 u, 81 TI = 207.98201 u and He = 4.002050 u. You may assume that 1u is equivalent to 931 MeV. Calculate: i) The loss of mass during the reaction. ii) kinetic energy of the products. e) When an alpha particle is emitted, the thallium nucleus recoils in the opposite direction. Use the principle of the conservation of momentum to estimate how the kinetic energy will be shared between the thallium nucleus and the a- particle.
When U-232 undergoes alpha decay to Th-228, a mass lost is sustained. 1. Find the mass defect for this process in amu and kg. 2. The mass lost during the decay is converted to kinetic energy. Use Einstein equation to calculate the kinetic energy in joules and in Mega- electron volts (MeV). The exact mass of U-232 is 232.0372 amu. The exact mass of Th-228 is 228.0287 amu. The exact mass of He is 4.0026 amu. 1 amu= 1.6606 x 10-27 kg. 1 MeV = 1.602 x 10-13 J. 232 92 U -----> 228 90 Th + 4 2 He i have a attached a photo of the question.
