Calculate the energy required to separate a neutron (neutron separation energy) from the nucleus `._(20)^(41)Ca`. Given r.m. of `._(20)^(41)Ca=40.962278 U`, r.m of `._(20)^(40)Ca=39.962591U`, r.m. of `.^(1)n=1.00867 U`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`._(20)^(41)Ca+Q rarr Q rarr ._(20)^(40)Ca +_(0)^(1)n`
`"i.e., " Q=[39.962591+1.00867-40.962278]xx931.5 MeV=8.36 MeV`
Energy required to separate a neutron `=8.36 MeV`

A given coin has a mass of 3.0g . Calculate the nuclear energy that would be required to separate all the neutrons and protons from each other . For simplicity, assume that the coin is entirely made of ._(29)^(63)Cu atoms (of mass 62.92960 u)

A thermal neutron strikes U_(92)^(235) nucleus to produce fission. The nuclear reaction is as given below : n_(0)^(1) + U_(92)^(235) to Ba_(56)^(141) + Kr_(36)^(92) +3n_(0)^(1) + E Calculate the energy released in MeV. Hence calculate the total energy released in the fission of 1 Kg of U_(92)^(235) . Given mass of U_(92)^(235) = 235.043933 amu Mass of neutron n_(0)^(1) =1.008665 amu Mass of Ba_(56)^(141)=140.917700 amu Mass of Kr_(36)^(92)=91.895400 amu
