A projectile alpha particle is headed directly toward a target aluminum nucleus. Both objects are assumed to be spheres. What energy is required of the alpha particle if it is to momentarily stop just as its “surface” touches the “surface” of the aluminum nucleus? Assume that the target nucleus remains stationary

Starting from the Clasius-Clapeyron equation, Lo + constant kBT log p and assuming the latent heat of evaporation per gram of water to be constant, and equal to L= 2260 J/g , find the boiling temperature of water in degrees Celcius at a pressure of 50.0 atm. Each oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus. The boiling temperature of water at a pressure of 50.0 atm is around 250 °C. How do you account for the difference?
