The nuclear reactions are used to produce heat, which will vaporize the moderator and thus
producing some steam. That steam is then used to make turning a dynamo, producing electricity
(a nuclear plant can thus be seen as a weird steam machine). The fission reaction produces an
energy of 202.8 MeV. The heat capacity of 1 mol of water is 75.385 J/K.
1) How many fission reactions are needed in order to increase the temperature of 1 mol of
water from 65 degrees Fahrenheit to 232 degrees Fahrenheit?
2) Deduce from the previous question that one nuclear reaction allows vaporizing several
water molecules.
3) What is the consequence of this effect for the total volume of the reactor? Is it mostly
filled with fuel or water?

The jewelry has a carbon mass of 146 g (HINT: Assume all the carbon is 12C and determine the number of atoms, 12C has a molar mass of 12 g/mol) and careful measurements show that the remaining 14C has a current decay rate of 26 decays/s. Determine the age of the bone (and presumably the jewelry). The ratio of 14C to 12C when the animal died was 1.25×10-12 & the half-life of 14C is 5730 y.

- A 2.0-MeV neutron is emitted in a fission reactor. If it loses one-half its kinetic energy in each collision with a moderator atom, how many collisions must it undergo to reach an energy associated with a gas at a room temperature of 20.0°Carrow_forward14C → 14N + e Carbon dating is used to find the age of ancient objects. With 14C beta decay: 14N has a mass of 14u, and recoil speed of 1,600 m/s. Find the speed of the emitted electron.arrow_forwardScientists can determine the age of ancient objects by the method of radiocarbon dating. The bombardment of the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays converts nitrogen to a radioactive isotope of carbon, 14C, with a half-life of about 5730 years. Vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide through the atmosphere and animal life assimilates ¹4C through food chains. When a plant or animal dies, it stops replacing its carbon and the amount of 14C begins to decrease through radioactive decay. Therefore the level of radioactivity must also decay exponentially. A parchment fragment was discovered that had about 75% as much 14C radioactivity as does plant material on earth today. Estimate the age of the parchment.
