(b) Calculate BE/A for 238U. (Most of uranium is 238U.) Note that 238U has even numbers at both protons and neutrons.

- Integrated Concepts: (a) What temperature gas would have atoms moving fast enough to bring two 3He nuclei into contact? Note that, because both are moving, the average kinetic energy only needs to be half the electric potential energy of these doubly charged nuclei when just in contact with one another. (b) Does this high temperature imply practical difficulties for doing this in controlled fusion?arrow_forwardData from the appendices and the periodic table may be needed for these problems. Unreasonable Results A nuclear physicist finds 1.0 (g of 236U in a piece of uranium ore and assumes ii is primordial since its halflife is 2.3107y. (a) Calculate the amount at 236U that would had to have been on Earth when it formed 4.5109y ago for 1.0 (g to be left today. (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) What assumption is responsible?arrow_forwardThe purpose of producing 99Mo (usually by neutron activation of natural molybdenum, as in the preceding problem) is to produce 99mTc. Using the rules, verily that the decay of 99Mo produces 99mTc. (Most 99mTc nuclei produced in this decay are left in a metastable excited state denoted 99mTc.)arrow_forward

- (a) Neutron activation of sodium, which is 100% 23Na, produces 24Na, which is used in some heart scans, as seen in Table 32.1. The equation for the reaction is 23Na+n24Na+ . Find its energy output, given the mass of 24Na is 23.990962 u. (b) What mass at 24Na produces the needed 5.0mCi activity, given its halflife is 15.0 h?arrow_forwardThe naturally occurring radioactive isotope 232Th does not make good fission fuel, because it has an even number of neurons; however, it can be bred into a suitable fuel (much as 238U is bred into 239P). (a) What are Z and N for 232Th? (b) Write the reaction equation for neutron captured by 232Th and identify the nuclide AX produced in n+232ThAX+. (c) The product nucleus β decays, as does its daughter. Write me decay equations for each, and identify the final nucleus.
