Nuclei

In a nuclear fission reaction of an isotope of mass M, three similar daughter nuclei of same mass are formed. The speed of a daughter nucleus in terms of mass defect M will be :

1. c 3 MM
2. Mc23
3. c 2 MM
4. 2c MM

The explosive in a Hydrogen bomb is a mixture of 1H2, 1H3 and 3Li6 in some condensed form. The chain reaction is given by 3Li6+0n1 2He4+1H3 1H2+1H3 2He4+0n1 During the explosion the energy released is approximately [Given ; M(Li)=6.01690 amu, M (1H2 )=2.01471 amu, M (2He4 )=4.00388 amu, and 1 amu=931.5 MeV]

1. 22.22 MeV
2. 28.12 MeV
3. 16.48 MeV
4. 12.64 MeV

In a nuclear fission process, a high mass nuclide (A 236) with binding energy 7.6 MeV/Nucleon dissociated into middle mass nuclides (A 118), having binding energy of 8.6 MeV/Nucleon. The energy released in the process would be MeV.

The atomic mass of 6C12 is 12.000000 u and that of 6C13 is 13.003354 u. The required energy to remove a neutron from 6C13, if mass of neutron is 1.008665 u, will be :

1. 62.5 MeV
2. 6.25 MeV
3. 4.95 MeV
4. 49.5 MeV
