Answer:
(a)²⁴²₉₄Pu ⇒ ⁴₂He + ²³⁸₉₂U ⇒ ²³⁸₉₂U + ⁰₀γ
(b) 4.898 MeV
Explanation:
In the nuclear reaction, it was stated that plutonium-242 decayed firstly to uranium-238 and alpha, and lastly to a stable uranium-238 by emitting a gamma ray. The balanced equation for the nuclear reactions is shown below:
(a)²⁴²₉₄Pu ⇒ ⁴₂He + ²³⁸₉₂U ⇒ ²³⁸₉₂U + ⁰₀γ
(b) The energy emitted by releasing a gamma ray is calculated using:
E = hc/λ
where
h = 4.136*10^-15 eV.s
c = 299792458 m/s
λ = 0.02757 nm = 0.02757*10^-9 m
Therefore:
E = (4.136*10^-15)*(299792458)/0.02757*10^-9 = 44974.31 eV
The total energy if the stable 238U was produced directly would be
4.853*10^6 + 44974.31 = 4.898 MeV
Answer:
I don't know what the choices are, but take a picture of the choices
the only process out of the four that does not happen in both animals implants would be photosynthesis. photosynthesis is when the cell takes the energy from the Sun's UV rays and turns into a form of energy that it can use
You would be billion years old
