Recall that 0 is defined as the angle with respect to the +x-axis. A. 49.4° B. 130.6° C. 229.4° D. 310.6°Calculate the energy released (Q value) from the following fission reaction:
- A 200 MW fission reactor consumes half its fuel in 3.00 y. How much 235U did it contain initially? Assume that all the energy generated arises from the fission of 235U and that this nuclide is consumed only by the fission process.Some heavy nuclei, containing even more protons than the uranium nucleus undergo “spontaneous fission,” splitting apart without absorbing a neutron. Why is spontaneous fission observed only in the heaviest nuclei?Calculate the energy released by 5 kg of uranium 235 undergoing fission.
- Is it possible through a combination of a and ß decays for an element to decay into a different isotope of the same element (same atomic number, Z, but different atomic mass number, A). If so, explain how this can be done with the fewest number of decays; if not, explain what makes it impossible.What becomes of the “lost” mass per nucleon in fission and fusion reactions?Find question in Image.
