A nuclear bomb explosion results in a mass decrease of about between the initial and the final components. How much energy is released? Let the speed of light c = 3.00 × 108 m/s.

6.30 × 105 J

1.89 × 1017 J

2.25 × 1012 J

1.89 × 1014 J

A radioactive nuclide of atomic number Z emits an alpha particle, and then the daughter nucleus emits a beta particle. What is the atomic number of the resulting nuclide after both processes?

Z-2

Z+1

Z-3

Z-1

In a nuclear reaction, the total rest mass of the products is 0.003892 u greater than the total rest mass of the reactants. Is the reaction exoergic or endoergic, and what is the reaction energy Q? Let 931.5 MeV = 1 u.

endoergic; Q = -3.625 MeV

endoergic; Q = -7.823 MeV

exoergic; Q = 3.625 MeV

exoergic; Q = 7.823 MeV

Explanation / Answer

17 .

mass number is the sum of no. of proton and no. of neutrons

mass number = proton + neutron

80 = 45 + p

p = 35

so the no. of protons is 35
