9. A rock that contains 1.2x10-12 mol of 232Th (t1/2 = 1.4x1010 yr) has 4.2x105 fission tracks, each track representing the fission of one atom of 232Th. How old is the rock?
A large power reactor that has been in operation for some months is turned off, but residual activity in the core still produces 150 MW of power. If the average energy per decay of the fission products is 0.96 MeV, what is the core activity in units of curies?
The binding energy for a nucleus containing Z protons and N neutrons is defined as c²[ZM + Nm, - M] where M is the mass of the neutral atom containing the nucleus, the quantity in the parentheses is the mass defect, and c? = 931.5 MeV/u.The binding energy of a nuclide can also be written as E, = Am x 931.5 MeV/u where Am is the mass defect. The Figure below show the mass for neutral atom and the nucleons of a helium atom. SHe Binding energy Mass = 4.0026 u Mass = 4.0330 u Calculate the mass defect Am of a helium atom
