Explanation

The given reaction:

$^{218}_{85} At \rightarrow ^{214}_{83} Bi$

$+$

$^A_Z X$

In a nuclear reaction, mass number and the atomic number are conserved.

$\therefore$

$218 = 214 + A$

$\implies A = 4$

Also,

$85 = 83+Z$

$\implies Z = 2$

Thus, the decayed particle is

$^4_2 He$ (alpha particle).

0%
$_{ 2 }^{ 4 }{ He }+_{ 13 }^{ 27 }{ Al }\rightarrow \quad _{ 15 }^{ 30 }{ P }+_{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ n }$

Explanation

In alpha decay reactions, alpha particle

$(^4_2He)$ is emitted while the atomic number and mass number of parent nucleus decreases by

$2$ and

$4$ respectively.

Thus reaction in option B is an alpha decay reaction.

$_{91}^{236}Pa$
0%
$_{90}^{234}Th$
0%
$_{94}^{242}Pu$
0%
$_{94}^{240}Pu$

Explanation

Let the daughter nucleus be

$^A_ZX$ .

Alpha decay of Uranium :

$^{238}_{92}$

$\rightarrow$

$^{A}_ZX$

$+$

$^4_2 He$

Conservation of mass number :

$238 = A+ 4$

$\implies A = 234$

Conservation of atomic number :

$92 = Z+2$

$\implies Z =90$

Thus the daughter nucleus is

$^{234}_{90} Th$ .

0%
$96\ g/mol$
0%
$82\ g/mol$
0%
$78\ g/mol$
0%
$192\ g/mol$

Explanation

$(NH_4)_2CO_3$ is the chemical formula of ammonium carbonate.

$N = 14 \times (2) = 28$

$H = 1 \times (4 \times 2) = 8$

$C = 12 \times 1 = 12$

$O = 16 \times 3 = 48$

Molar mass

$= 28 + 8 + 12 + 48 = 96\ g/mol$

How many grams are there in a

$7.0$ mole sample of sodium hydroxide?

0%
$40.0g$
0%
$140.0\ g$
0%
$280.0\ g$
0%
$340.0\ g$
0%
$420.0\ g$

Explanation

The formula of sodium hydroxide is

$NaOH$

Atomic weight of

$Na$ =

$23\ {g}/{mol}$

Atomic weight of

$O$ =

$16\ {g}/{mol}$

Atomic weight of

$H$ =

$1\ {g}/{mol}$

$\therefore$ molecular weight of

$NaOH$ = atomic mass of

$Na$ + atomic mass of

$O$ + atomic mass of

$H$

$23 + 16 + 1 = 40\ {g}/{mol}$

Therefore, 1 mole of

$NaOH = 40\ g/mol$

7 moles of

$NaOH = 7 \ mole \times 40\ g/mol= 280g$

Hence, option

$B$ is correct.

A nucleus disintegrates into two nuclear parts which have their velocities in the ratio 2 :The ratio of their nuclear size will be

0%
$2^{1/3} : 1$
0%
$1 : 3^{1/2}$
0%
$3^{1/2} : 1$
0%
$1:2^{1/3}$

Explanation

Since the linear momentum of the system must be conserved, the total momentum finally after disintegration remains same as that in beginning

$=0$

$\implies m_1v_1-m_2v_2=0$

$\implies \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{v_2}{v_1}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Since the density of both particles is same,

$\dfrac{\rho\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3}{\rho\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r_2^3}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\implies \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\dfrac{1}{2^{1/3}}$

0%
$26.9$ MeV
0%
$25.8$ MeV
0%
$23.6$ MeV
0%
$12.9$ MeV

Explanation

The nuclear reaction is:

$_1H^2 + _1H^2 \rightarrow _2He^4$

Binding energy of deutron,

$E_d = 1.1\times 2 = 2.2$ MeV

Binding energy of helium,

$E_{He} = 7\times 4 = 28$ MeV

Energy released,

$Q = E_{He} - 2E_d$

$\therefore$

$Q = 28 - 2(2.2) = 23.6$ MeV

An alpha particle (

$^4He$ )has a mass of 4.00300 amu. A proton has mass of 1.00783 amu and a neutron has mass of 1.00867 amu respectively. The binding energy of alpha particle estimated from these data is the closest to

0%
27.9 MeV
0%
22.3 MeV
0%
35.0 MeV
0%
20.4 MeV

Explanation

An alpha particle

$(_2^4He)$ has 2 protons and two neutrons.

Mass defect

$\Delta M = 2m_p + 2m_n - m_{He}$

$\therefore$

$\Delta M=2(1.00783) + 2(1.00867)-4.00300$

$= 0.03000$ amu

Binding energy of alpha particle B.E

$= \Delta M c^2$

$\therefore$ B.E

$= 0.03000 \times 931.5 =27.9$ MeV

$(\because 1$ amu

When a radioactive isotope

$_{88} Ra^{228}$ decays in series by the emission of three

$\alpha$ -particles and a

$\beta$ particle the isotope finally formed is :

0%
$_{84} X^{220}$
0%
$_{86}X^{222}$
0%
$_{83}X^{216}$
0%
$_{83}X^{215}$

Explanation

In each alpha decay, mass number of the parent nucleus decreases by

$4$ units while atomic number decreases by

$2$ units. In each beta decay, atomic number increases by

$1$ unit but mass number remains the same.
So, mass number of the isotope formed

$A = 228-3\times 4 = 216$
Atomic number

$Z = 88-3\times 2+1 = 83$
So correct answer is option C.

Isotopes of an element contain

0%
the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
0%
the same number of neutrons but different number of protons
0%
equal number of protons and electrons
0%
equal number of nucleons

Explanation

Isotopes of an element must have same atomic number

$(Z)$ but different mass number

$A$ .

Number of protons is equal to the atomic number.

So, isotopes of an element have same number of protons.

Mass number is equal to the sum of number of protons and neutrons i.e.

$A = p+n$

As isotopes of an element have different mass number but same number of protons, thus they must have different number of neutrons.

$= 5.12\times 10^{24}$
Therefore, energy obtained from these atoms

$= 5.12\times 10^{24} \times 185\ MeV$

$= 5.12\times 10^{24}\times 185\times 10^{6}eV$
Energy obtained per second

$= \dfrac {5.12\times 10^{24}\times 185\times 10^{6} \times 16\times 10^{-19}}{30\times 24\times 60\times 60}$
Solving the above expression

$= 58.47\times 10^{6}W$

$\equiv 58.5\ MW$ .

The equation,

$4_1H^1 \rightarrow [ _2He^4]^{2+} + 2e^- ; + 26 MeV$ represents :

0%
$\gamma -$ decay
0%
$\beta -$ decay
0%
Fisslon
0%
Fusion

A nucleus X initially at rest, undergoes alpha decay according to the equation.

$_{92}X^A\rightarrow _{Z}Y^{228}+\alpha$ .
Then, the value of A and Z are.

0%
$94,230$
0%
$232,90$
0%
$190,32$
0%
$230,94$

Explanation

The decay equation is

$_{92}X^A\rightarrow _ZY^{228}+\alpha$

$\alpha$ -particle is nucleus of

$_2He^4$

$_{92}X^A\rightarrow _ZY^{228}+_2He^4$

$A=228+4=232$

$Z=92-2=90$ .

Nucleus of mass number

$A$ , originally at rest, emits the

$\alpha$ particle with speed

$v$ . The daughter nucleus recoils with a speed of :

0%
$2v(A+4)$
0%
$4v(A+4)$
0%
$4v/(A-4)$
0%
$2v/(A-4)$

Explanation

According to conservation of momentum

$4v=(a-4)v'\Rightarrow v'=\cfrac { 4v }{ A-4 }$

The binding energy per nucleon of deuteron

$(_{1}H^{2})$ and helium

$(_{2}He^{4})$ are

$1.1\ MeV$ and

$7.0\ MeV$ , respectively. The energy released when two deuterons fuse to form a helium nucleus is

0%
$36.2\ MeV$
0%
$23.6\ MeV$
0%
$47.2\ MeV$
0%
$11.8\ MeV$
0%
$9.31\ MeV$

Explanation

The nuclear reaction is,

$_{1}H^{2} + _{1}H^{2} \rightarrow _{2}He^{4} + Q$
Total binding energy of helium nucleus

$= 4\times 7 = 28\ MeV$
Total binding energy of each deuteron

$= 2\times 1.1 = 2.2\ MeV$
Hence, energy released when two deuteron fuse to form helium,

$= 28 - 2 \times 2.2 = 28 - 44 = 23.6\ MeV$ .
