correct answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) jo
Use Energy Conservation. By ``alpha decay converts'', we mean that the parent particle turns into an alpha particle and daughter particles. Adding the mass of the alpha and daughter radon, we get
m = 4.00260 u + 222.01757 u = 226.02017 u .
The parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, so clearly some mass has gone somewhere. The amount of the missing mass is
Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u ,
which is equivalent to an energy change of
Delta E = (0.00523 u)×(931.5 Me V/1u)
Delta E = 4.87 Me V
Converting 4.87 Me V to Joules
1 joule [J] = 6241506363094 mega-electrón voltio [Me V]
4 mega-electrón voltio = 6.40870932 x 10^(-13) joule
4.87 mega-electrón voltio = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule
What is energy conservation?
Energy conservation is the decision and practice of using less energy. Turning off the light when you leave the room, unplugging appliances when they're not in use and walking instead of driving are all examples of energy conservation.
Why is energy conservation important?
When you limit your energy usage, you lower your impact on the environment. The longer we go without making significant changes, the greater the threat of global warming and climate change become to our daily lives. When we burn fossil fuels, they create an incredible amount of greenhouse gas emissions.
