How much energy is released by the decay of 3 grams of 230Th in the following reaction 230 Th - 226Ra + "He (230 Th = 229.9837 g

Serhud [2]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy released for the decay of 3 grams of 230-Thorium is $2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

<u>Explanation:</u>

First we have to calculate the mass defect $(\Delta m)$ .

The equation for the alpha decay of thorium nucleus follows:

$_{90}^{230}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{88}^{226}\textrm{Ra}+_2^{4}\textrm{He}$

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

Mass defect = Sum of mass of product - Sum of mass of reactant

$\Delta m=(m_{Ra}+m_{He})-(m_{Th})$

$\Delta m=(225.9771+4.008)-(229.9837)=1.4\times 10^{-3}amu=2.324\times 10^{-30}kg$

(Conversion factor: $1amu=1.66\times 10^{-27}kg$ )

To calculate the energy released, we use Einstein equation, which is:

$E=\Delta mc^2$

$E=(2.324\times 10^{-30}kg)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)^2$

$E=2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

The energy released for 230 grams of decay of thorium is $2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

We need to calculate the energy released for the decay of 3 grams of thorium. By applying unitary method, we get:

As, 230 grams of Th release energy of = $2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

Then, 3 grams of Th will release energy of = $\frac{2.0916\times 10^{-13}}{230}\times 3=2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

Hence, the energy released for the decay of 3 grams of 230-Thorium is $2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

A car is traveling 83.3 kilometers per hour. What is its speed in miles per minute? One kilometer = 0.62 miles.

Leya [2.2K]

Hi. 2fouls! :)

First convert the number from kilometer to miles:
$83.3*0.62$
$=51.646 miles$

Now to find the miles per minutes,divide the miles per hours by 60 (the amount of minutes in an hour.)

$51.646/60$
$=0.860766667$

The car is travelling at a speed of 0.860766667 miles/minute.

Hope this helps.
