If a star can convert all the .He nuclei...

If a star can convert all the .He nuclei comnpletely into oxigen nucles , the energy released per oxigen nucles is . He nuclease is `4.0026` amu and mass of oxigen nuclease is `15.9994`amu]

A

`7.6 MeV`

B

`56.12 MeV`

C

10.24 meV`

D

`23.9 MeV`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`4_(2)^(4) He rarr _(8)^(16)`
`B.E. = delta m xx 931.5 MeV`
`= (4 xx 4.0026 - 15.9994) xx 931.5 = 10.24 MeV`

The sun is believed to be getting its energy form the fusion of four protons to form a helium nucleus and a pair of positrons. Calculate the release of energy per fusion in MeV. Mass of proton=1.007825 a.m.u. , mass of positron =0.000549 a.m.u., mass of helium nucleus =4.002603 a.m.u. Take 1a.m.u. =931MeV.

The compound unstabel nucleus ._(92)^(236)U often decays in accordance with the following reaction ._(92)^(236)U rarr ._(54)^(140)Xe +._(38)^(94)Sr + other particles During the reaction, the uranium nucleus ''fissions'' (splits) into the two smaller nuceli have higher nuclear binding energy per nucleon (although the lighter nuclei have lower total nuclear binding energies, because they contain fewer nucleons). Inside a nucleus, the nucleons (protonsa and neutrons)attract each other with a ''strong nuclear'' force. All neutrons exert approxiamtely the same strong nuclear force on each other. This force holds the nuclear are very close together at intranuclear distances. Why is a ._2^4He nucleus more stable than a ._3^4Li nulceus?
