(a)
Interpretation: A carbon nitrogen cycle is given. The catalyst used in the process, nucleons intermediates and the energy released per mole of hydrogen nuclei is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The difference between the sum of masses of the component nucleons and the actual mass of a nucleus is known as the mass defect and it can be used to calculate the nuclear binding energy.
To determine: The catalyst involved in the process.

- Write a balanced equation for each of the following nuclear reactions: (a) bismuth-212 decays into polonium-212. (b) beryllium-8 and a positron are produced by the decay of an unstable nucleus. (c) neptunium-239 forms from the reaction of uranium-238 with a neutron and then spontaneously converts into plutonium-239. (d) strontium-90 decays into yttrium-90arrow_forwardA sample of rock was found to contain 8.23 mg of rubidium-87 and 0.47 mg of strontium-87.. (a) Calculate the age of the rock if the half-life of the decay of rubidium by emission is 4.71010 y. (b) If some S3887r was initially present in the rock, would the rock be younger, older, or the same age as the age calculated in (a)? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardA B47e atom (mass = 7.0169 amu) decays into a L37i atom (mass = 7.0160 amu) by electron capture. How much energy (in millions of electron volts, MEV) is produced by this reaction?arrow_forward
