Chapter 14, Problem 14.102PAE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The number of 26Al nuclei decay per second in a 1 mol sample of 26Al should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

All radioactive decays show first order kinetics. This, half-life and decay constant are related to each other as follows:

k=0.693t12

Where, t12 is half-life

k is the decay constant

(a)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 14.102PAE

Solution:

3.063×1014 decays per second

Explanation of Solution

Calculating decay constant for A26l as follows:

k=0.693t 1 2 k=0.6937.17× 105 yr=9.66×107 yr1

Now, calculate the number of decays per second in 1 mole of the A26l

k=9.66×107 yr1( 1 yr 365 day)( 1 day 24 h)( 1 h 60 min)( 1 min 60 s)=3.063×1014 s1

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Energy released in a single 26Al decay event should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The mass defect is calculated as the difference of masses of products and reactants. The energy released can be related to mass defect as follows:

E=Δmc2

Here, Δm is mass defect and c is speed of light.

Also, 1 amu = 931.7 MeV

(b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 14.102PAE

Solution:

3.49 MeV

Explanation of Solution

Calculate the mass defect as follows:

Mass Defect

=|(Mass of  M 26g+Mass of positron)Mass of A26l|=|(25.982593+0.0005486)25.986892|=3.75×103 amu

Since, 1amu =931.7 MeV

Thus,

3.75×103 amu=3.75×103×931.7 MeV=3.5 MeV

Thus, energy released will be 3.5 MeV.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The heat evolved in one minute by the decay of the 1 mol sample of 26Al from part (a) should be calculated.

Concept Introduction: In one mole of a substance there are 6.023×1023 number of particles.

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 14.102PAE

Solution:

3.86×1012MeV

Explanation of Solution

Converting decay per second to decay per minute as follows:

k=3.063×1014 s1( 60 s 1 min)=1.84×1012 min1

In 1 mole there are 6.023×1023

number of particles also the calculated energy released is equal to heat thus, heat evolved per minute per mole will be:

Heat=3.5 MeV×6.023×1023 mol1×1.837×1012 min1=3.87×1012 MeV mol1 min1
