2 25. If a nucleus contains Z protons and N neutrons, its binding energy is E be =(Zm H + Nm n m)c 2, where m H is the mass of a hydrogen atom, m n is the mass of a neutron, and m is the mass of the atom containing the nucleus of interest. If the masses are given in atomic mass units, then mass excesses are defined by H =(m H 1)c 2, n =(m n 1)c 2,and =(m A)c 2. This means m H c 2 = H + c 2, m n c 2 = n +c 2,andmc 2 = +Ac 2.ThusE =(Z H +N n )+(Z +N A)c 2 = Z H +N n, where A = Z + N is used. For Au, Z =79andN = = 118. Hence, E be = (79)(7.29 MeV) + (118)(8.07 MeV) ( 31.2 MeV) = 1560 MeV. This means the binding energy per nucleon is E ben = (1560 MeV)/197 = 7.92 MeV.
3 35. (a) We assume that the chlorine in the sample had the naturally occurring isotopic mixture, so the average mass number was , as given in Appendix F. Then, the mass of 226 Ra was m = (35.453) (0.10 g) = g. The mass of a 226 Ra nucleus is (226 u)( g/u) = g, so the number of 226 Ra nuclei present was N =( g)/( g) = (b) The decay rate is given by R = Nλ =(N ln 2)/T 1/2,whereλis the disintegration constant, T 1/2 is the half-life, and N is the number of nuclei. The relationship λ =(ln2)/t 1/2 is used. Thus, R = ( )ln2 (1600 y)( s/y) = s 1.
4 41. If N is the number of undecayed nuclei present at time t, then dn dt = R λn where R is the rate of production by the cyclotron and λ is the disintegration constant. The second term gives the rate of decay. Rearrange the equation slightly and integrate: N N 0 dn R λn = where N 0 is the number of undecayed nuclei present at time t = 0. This yields t 0 dt 1 λ ln R λn R λn 0 = t. We solve for N: N = R ( λ + N 0 R ) e λt. λ After many half-lives, the exponential is small and the second term can be neglected. Then, N = R/λ, regardless of the initial value N 0. At times that are long compared to the half-life, the rate of production equals the rate of decay and N is a constant.
5 61. Since the electron has the maximum possible kinetic energy, no neutrino is emitted. Since momentum is conserved, the momentum of the electron and the momentum of the residual sulfur nucleus are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. If p e is the momentum of the electron and p S is the momentum of the sulfur nucleus, then p S = p e. The kinetic energy K S of the sulfur nucleus is K S = p 2 S /2M S = p 2 e/2m S,whereM S is the mass of the sulfur nucleus. Now, the electron s kinetic energy K e is related to its momentum by the relativistic equation (p e c) 2 = Ke 2 +2K e mc 2,wheremis the mass of an electron. See Eq Thus, K S = (p ec) 2 2M S c 2 = K2 e +2K e mc 2 2M S c 2 = (1.71 MeV)2 +2(1.71 MeV)(0.511 MeV) 2(32 u)(931.5mev/u) = MeV = 78.3 ev where mc 2 =0.511 MeV is used (see Table 38-3).
6 75. A generalized formation reaction can be written X + x Y, where X is the target nucleus, x is the incident light particle, and Y is the excited compound nucleus ( 20 Ne). We assume X is initially at rest. Then, conservation of energy yields m X c 2 + m x c 2 + K x = m Y c 2 + K Y + E Y where m X, m x,andm Y are masses, K x and K Y are kinetic energies, and E Y is the excitation energy of Y. Conservation of momentum yields p x = p Y. Now, K Y = p 2 Y /2m Y = p 2 x/2m Y =(m x /m Y )K x,so m X c 2 + m x c 2 + K x = m Y c 2 +(m x /m Y )K x + E Y and K x = m Y m Y m x [ (my m X m x )c 2 + E Y ]. (a)let x represent the alpha particle and X represent the 16 O nucleus. Then, (m Y m X m x )c 2 = ( u u u)(931.5mev/u)= MeV and K α = u ( MeV MeV)=25.35 MeV u u (b)let x represent the proton and X represent the 19 F nucleus. Then, (m Y m X m x )c 2 = ( u u u)(931.5mev/u)= MeV and K α = u ( MeV MeV)=12.80 MeV u u (c)let x represent the photon and X represent the 20 Ne nucleus. Since the mass of the photon is zero, we must rewrite the conservation of energy equation: if E γ is the energy of the photon, then E γ + m X c 2 = m Y c 2 + K Y + E Y. Since m X = m Y, this equation becomes E γ = K Y + E Y. Since the momentum and energy of a photon are related by p γ = E γ /c, the conservation of momentum equation becomes E γ /c = p Y. The kinetic energy of the compound nucleus is K Y = p 2 Y /2m Y = E 2 γ/2m Y c 2. We substitute this result into the conservation of energy equation to obtain E γ = This quadratic equation has the solutions E2 γ 2m Y c 2 + E Y. E γ = m Y c 2 ± (m Y c 2 ) 2 2m Y c 2 E Y. If the problem is solved using the relativistic relationship between the energy and momentum of the compound nucleus, only one solution would be obtained, the one corresponding to the negative sign above. Since m Y c 2 =( u)(931.5mev/u)= MeV, E γ = ( MeV) ( MeV) 2 2( MeV)(25.0MeV) = 25.0 MeV. The kinetic energy of the compound nucleus is very small; essentially all of the photon energy goes to excite the nucleus.
