- Unreasonable Results The relatively scarce naturally occurring calcium isotope 48Ca has a halflife at about 21016y. (a) A small sample of this isotope is labeled as having an activity of 1.0 Ci. What is the mass of the 48Ca in the sample? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) What assumption is responsible?arrow_forward(a) If the average molecular mass of compounds in food is 50.0 g, how many molecules are mere in 1.00 kg at food? (b) How many ion pairs are created in 1.00 kg of food, if it is exposed to 1000 Sv and it takes 32.0 eV to create an ion pair? (c) Find the ratio of ion pairs to molecules. (d) If these ion pairs recombine into a distribution of 2000 new compounds, how many parts per billion is each?arrow_forward(a) Calculate the radius of 58Ni, one of the most tightly bound stable nuclei. (b) What is the ratio of the radius of 58Ni to that at 258Ha, one of the largest nuclei ever made? Note that the radius of the largest nucleus is still much smaller than ?le size of an atom.arrow_forward
- I need help on this questionarrow_forwardAnother set of reactions that result in the fusing ofhydrogen into helium in the Sun and especially in hotter starsis called the carbon cycle. It is12C + 1H → 13N + γ,13N → 13C + e+ + ve,13C + 1H → 14N + γ,14N + 1H → 15O + γ,15O → 15N + e+ + ve,15N + 1H → 12C + 4He.Write down the overall effect of the carbon cycle (as wasdone for the proton-proton cycle in2e− + 41H → 4 He + 2ve + 6γ ). Note the number of protons ( 1H ) required and assume that the positrons ( e+ ) annihilate electrons to form more γ rays.arrow_forward(Answer in MeV) Question in imagearrow_forward
- H6arrow_forwardThe human body is composed of 18.5% carbon. This corresponds to 5.0 x 102 moles of carbon atoms for the average human. What would be the total nuclear binding energy of all the carbon atoms in the body? For simplicity, assume all of the carbon atoms are carbon-12 (12C). In comparison, the energy released by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, at the end of World War II was 60 trillion joules (6.0 × 10¹3 J). Number Unitsarrow_forwardFor an electrically neutral atom, the number of protons in the nucleus of is equal to the number of neutrons surrounding the nucleus. the number of neutrons in the nucleus. the number of electrons in the nucleus. O None of the other choices is correct. O the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus.arrow_forward
- Question 1 Calculate the binding energy for 0.064 mole of He (4.00150 amu) in kJ. Question 2 Calculate the binding energy for 0.022 mole of 10Be (10.01019 amu) in kJ. Question 3 Calculate the binding energy for 0.029 mole of 12C (11.99671 amu) in kJ.arrow_forward1. Copper has an average atomic mass of 63.55 and has two naturally occurring isotopes, 63Cu and 65CU. If a sample of copper contains 69.17% of 63Cu, which has a mass of 62.9296. What is the mass of 65CU? (Assume 100% of the sample contains only 63Cu and 65Cu as its only isotopes. (Express your answer in 6 significant digits. Be sure to follow sig. fig rules.)arrow_forward5. (P19) A nucleus of element 114 is produced by fusing calcium - 48 with plutonium-244. Write the reaction equation assuming three neutrons are also released. EC (P20) The most abundant isotope of lithium, Li-7, contains 3 protons and 4 neutrons and has a mass of 7.01600 u. What is the mass defect for this nucleus in atomic mass units? In Kg? J.arrow_forward
