(a)
The missing value of fusion reactions.
Answer to Problem 57QAP
The fusion reaction is
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The given reaction is,
Calculation:
To calculate the no of neutrons, release from the above equation. The mass should be equal to the left side and right side of the equation for balancing the equation. So, equate the left side and right side of the masses. We get,
So, 1 neutron will be released from the above equation
Hence, the complete reaction would be

- Verify that a 2.31017kg mass of water at normal density would make a cube 60 km on a side, as claimed in Example 31.1. {This mass at nuclear density would make a cube 1.0 m on a side.)arrow_forwardConstruct Your Own Problem Consider the decay of radioactive substances in the Earth's interior. The energy emitted is converted to thermal energy that reaches the earth's surface and is radiated away into cold dark space. Construct a problem in which you estimate the activity in a cubic meter of earth rock? And then calculate the power generated. Calculate how much power must cross each square meter of the Earth’s surface if the power is dissipated at the same rate as it is generated. Among the things to consider are the activity per cubic meter, the energy per decay, and the size of the Earth.arrow_forwardThe fact that BE/A is greatest for A near 60 implies that the range at the nuclear force is about the diameter of such nuclides. (a) Calculate the diameter at an A = 60 nucleus. (b) Compare BE/A for 58Ni and 90Sr. The first is one of the most tightly bound nuclides, while the second is larger and less tightly bound.arrow_forward
- 2H is a loosely hound isotope of hydrogen. Called deuterium or heavy hydrogen, it is stable but relatively rareit is 0.015% of natural hydrogen. Note that deuterium has Z = N, which should tend to make it more tightly bound, but both are odd numbers. Calculate BE/A, the binding energy per nucleon, for 2H and compare it with the approximate value obtained from line graph in Figure 31.27.arrow_forwardWhy is a conventional fission nuclear reactor not able to explode as a bomb?arrow_forwardHow much energy would be released if six hydrogen atoms and six neutrons were combined to form 612C ?arrow_forward
