Determine the energy produced per mole of U-235 in the following fission reaction:
10n + 23592U → 14054Xe + 9438Sr + 2 10n
The atomic masses are given below:
mU-235 = 235.04392 amu
mXe-140 = 139.92164 amu
mSr-94 = 93.91535 amu
mn = 1.00866 amu
Find the missing species in the following nuclear equation and calculate the energy change per mole of Ar-34:
3418Ar + _____ → 3116S + 42He
mAr-34 = 33.9802 amu
mS-31 = 30.9795 amu
mHe-4 = 4.0026 amu
The reaction 8 Al(s) + 3 Fe3O4(s) → 4 Al2O3(s) + 9 Fe(s), is a highly exothermic industrial reaction (ΔHrxn = −3316.5 kJ) used to weld railroad tracks. Calculate the heat released per mole of Al2O3 formed then compare with the energy released when 2 mol of neutrons and 2 mol of protons combine to generate 1 mol of alpha particles.
Given that the atomic masses of Hydrogen-3, Beryllium-9, and Lithium-7 are 3.0160493 amu, 9.0121821 amu, and 7.0160040 amu, respectively, find the nuclear binding energy per nucleon (in 6 s.f.) for each of the following isotopes:
(i) Hydrogen-3
(ii) Beryllium-9
(iii) Lithium-7
Oxygen-15, vanadium-51, and bismuth-209 have atomic masses of 15.003065 amu, 50.943964 amu, and 208.980399 amu, respectively. What is the nuclear mass of each isotope? (mass of electrons = 5.485799×10–4 amu)
