Nuclei differ in their stability, and some are so unstable thatthey undergo radioactive decay. The ratio of the number of neutrons to number of protons (N/Z) in a nucleus correlateswith its stability. Calculate the N/Zratio for (a) ¹⁴⁴Sm; (b) ⁵⁶Fe;(c) ²⁰Ne; (d) ¹⁰⁷Ag. (e) The radioactive isotope ²³⁸U decays ina series of nuclear reactions that includes another uranium isotope,²³⁴U, and three lead isotopes, ²¹⁴Pb, ²¹⁰Pb, and ²⁰⁶Pb. How manyneutrons, protons, and electrons are in each of these five isotopes?
Consider the nuclide cobalt-59 (5927Co).
(a)
The mass of 5927Co in atomic mass units is 58.933200 u. (Note this is the mass of the entire atom, not just the nucleus.) This mass is lower than the total mass of its constituent protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Find the difference, in atomic mass units, between the total mass of the constituent particles, and the actual mass of the nuclide. (This is sometimes called the "mass defect.") The mass of a proton is 1.007276 u, the mass of a neutron is 1.008665 u, and the mass of an electron is 5.486 ✕ 10−4 u. (Round your answer to at least four decimal places.)
b) Since, according to special relativity theory, mass and energy are "equivalent," the mass defect, or "missing" mass found in part (a), is measurement of the energy it would take to break the bound 5927Co atom into its constituent particles. In other words, it is equivalent to the binding energy.
Using the result of part (a), find the binding energy per nucleon, Eb/A for 5927Co in…
2.) The reaction Na3PO4(aq) + 3 AgNO3(aq) → Ag3PO4(s) + 3 NaNO3(aq) is best classified as a(n)A) acid-base neutralization reaction.B) nuclear fusion reactionC) precipitation reaction.D) combustion reaction
