Q.

The nucleus 92235Y, initially at rest, decays into X 90231 by emitting an α-particle
Question Image
The binding energies per nucleon of the parent nucleus, the daughter nucleus and α-particle are 7·8 MeV, 7·835 MeV and 7·07 MeV, respectively. Assuming the daughter nucleus to be formed in the unexcited state and neglecting its share in the energy of the reaction, find the speed of the emitted -particle. (Mass of α-particle = 6·68 = 10–27 kg)
KE of α particle 𝐸𝑘𝛼
Eka=(my-mx-mα)c2        =myc2-mxc2-mαc2
(235 × 7.8 – 231 × 7.835 – 4 × 7.07) MeV = 1833 – 1809.885 – 28.28 = 1833 – 1838.165 = -5.165 MeV

Detailed Solution

The given reaction is 92Y23590X231+.2He4+ energy  Energy released during the decay process is E=7.835×231+4×7.077.8×235 E=1809.885+28.281833.3=5.165MeV 5.165×1.6×1013J If v is speed of alpha particle emitted, then 12mv2=E v=2Em =2×5.165×1.6×10136.68×1027 =16.5286.68×107m/s v=1.573×107m/s
