c) The equation below describes the disintegration of a polonium nucleus into a lead nucleus and an alpha-particle. During the reaction energy Q is released. 210Po → He +²02Pb+Q 84 82 Calculate the loss of energy during the reaction. The masses in the atomic mass unit u are as follows: 210 206 Po= 209.98287 u, Pb = 205.97446 u and He = 4.002604 u. 84 82 You may assume that 1u is equivalent to 931 MeV. d) The lead nucleus recoils in the opposite direction to the emitted alpha particle conserving momentum. Hence calculate: i) The ratio of the recoil nucleus and alpha particle velocities ii) The kinetic energy distribution of these products.
41 O A star converts all its hydrogen to helium, achieving a 100% helium composition. Next it converts the helium to carbon via the triple-alpha process, "He + He + He → 12C + 7.27 MeV. The mass of the star is 4.6 x 102 kg, and it generates energy at the rate of 5.3 x 1030 W. How long will it take to convert all the helium to carbon at this rate?
d) The equation below describes the disintegration of a bismuth nucleus into a thallium nucleus and an alpha-particle. During the reaction energy Q is released. 212 208 Bi He + 83 81 TI + energy released Q. The masses in the atomic mass unit u are as follows: 212 83 208 Bi = 211.99127 u, 81 TI = 207.98201 u and He = 4.002050 u. You may assume that 1u is equivalent to 931 MeV. Calculate: i) The loss of mass during the reaction. ii) kinetic energy of the products. e) When an alpha particle is emitted, the thallium nucleus recoils in the opposite direction. Use the principle of the conservation of momentum to estimate how the kinetic energy will be shared between the thallium nucleus and the a- particle.
