The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of calculating the energy released (E) when silicon-30 is bombarded with a deuteron to form silicon-31 and emit a proton, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Nuclear Reaction The nuclear reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{ }^{30}\text{Si} + \text{ }^{2}\text{H} \rightarrow \text{ }^{31}\text{Si} + \text{ }^{1}\text{H} \] Where: - \(^{30}\text{Si}\) is silicon-30 - \(^{2}\text{H}\) is a deuteron (which consists of one proton and one neutron) - \(^{31}\text{Si}\) is silicon-31 - \(^{1}\text{H}\) is a proton ### Step 2: Determine the Q-value of the Reaction The Q-value of the reaction can be calculated using the mass-energy equivalence principle. The Q-value is given by: \[ Q = (m_{\text{reactants}} - m_{\text{products}})c^2 \] In terms of masses, we can express it as: \[ Q = m_{\text{deuteron}} + m_{\text{Si-30}} - m_{\text{Si-31}} - m_{\text{proton}} \] ### Step 3: Use Given Masses and Energy Values From the problem, we have the following energy values: - The energy released when silicon-31 decays is \(1.51 \text{ MeV}\). - The energy released when silicon-30 captures a deuteron is \(5.10 \text{ MeV}\). - The neutron decay energy is \(0.78 \text{ MeV}\). ### Step 4: Set Up the Equations We can set up the following equations based on the given information: 1. From the decay of silicon-31: \[ m_{\text{Si-31}} = m_{\text{proton}} + m_{\text{electron}} + 1.51 \text{ MeV} \] 2. From the reaction involving silicon-30 and deuteron: \[ m_{\text{Si-30}} + m_{\text{deuteron}} = m_{\text{Si-31}} + m_{\text{neutron}} + 5.10 \text{ MeV} \] ### Step 5: Substitute and Rearrange Subtract the mass-energy equation of silicon-31 from the reaction equation: \[ m_{\text{Si-30}} + m_{\text{deuteron}} - m_{\text{Si-31}} = m_{\text{neutron}} + 5.10 - 1.51 \text{ MeV} \] This simplifies to: \[ m_{\text{Si-30}} + m_{\text{deuteron}} - m_{\text{Si-31}} = m_{\text{neutron}} + 3.59 \text{ MeV} \] ### Step 6: Relate Neutron Mass to Proton Mass Using the mass-energy equivalence for the neutron: \[ m_{\text{neutron}} = m_{\text{proton}} + m_{\text{electron}} + 0.78 \text{ MeV} \] ### Step 7: Final Calculation Substituting the expression for the neutron mass back into the equation gives: \[ m_{\text{Si-30}} + m_{\text{deuteron}} - m_{\text{Si-31}} - m_{\text{proton}} = 0 \] Adding up the energies gives: \[ 3.59 + 0.78 = 4.37 \text{ MeV} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the energy released in this reaction is: \[ E = 4.37 \text{ MeV} \]

To solve the problem of calculating the energy released (E) when silicon-30 is bombarded with a deuteron to form silicon-31 and emit a proton, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Nuclear Reaction The nuclear reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{ }^{30}\text{Si} + \text{ }^{2}\text{H} \rightarrow \text{ }^{31}\text{Si} + \text{ }^{1}\text{H} \] Where: ...
