Find the energy liberated in the reaction
``^223Ra rarr`^209(Pb)+`^14C`.
The atomic masses needed are as follows .
``^223Ra `^209(Pb) `^14C`
`223.18u 208.981u 14.003u`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C
`^(234)R_a rarr `^(209)Pb + `^14C`
`Deltam = mass `^(223)Ra - mass `
`(209)Pb + ^14C`
`[(Data Mass), (223_Rararr 223.018mu),(209_Pb rarr 208.981mu),(14_C rarr 208.981mu),(14_C rarr 14.003mu)]`
`= 223.018 - (208.981 + 14.003)`
`= 0.034`
`Energy = Deltam xx u = 0.034 xx 931`
`=31.65 MeV` .

The key feature of Bohr's spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid.The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition. In a CO molecule, the distance between C (mass = 12 a. m. u ) and O (mass = 16 a.m.u) where 1 a.m.u = (5)/(3) xx 10^(-27) kg , is close to
