- Each of the following reactions is missing a single particle. Identify the missing particle for each reaction. p+pn+? p+pp+0+? ?+p+? K+n0+? +e++ve+? (f)ve+pn+?arrow_forward(a) Write the decay equation for the decay of 235U. (b) What energy is released in this decay? The mass of the daughter nuclide is 231.036298 u. (c) Assuming the residual nucleus is formed in its ground state, how much energy goes to the particle?arrow_forwardUnreasonable Results A particle physicist discovers a neutral particle with a mass at 2.02733 u that he assumes is two neutrons bound together. (a) Find the binding energy. (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) What assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?arrow_forward
- (a) Calculate the energy released in the a decay of 238U. (b) What fraction of the mass at a single 238U is destroyed in the decay? The mass of 234Th is 234.043593 u. (c) Although the fractional mass loss is laws for a single nucleus, it is difficult to observe for an entire macroscopic sample of uranium. Why is this?arrow_forwardEach of the following reactions is forbidden. Determine a conservation law that is violated for each reaction.
