31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Nuclei - Question 2

In any fission process, the ratio   [2005]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Nuclei - Question 2

Binding energy per nucleon for fission products is higher relative to Binding energy per nucleon for parent nucleus, i.e., more masses are lost and are obtained as kinetic energy of fission products. So, the given ratio < 1.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Nuclei - Question 3

Fission of nuclei is possible because thebinding energy per nucleon in them [2005]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Nuclei - Question 3

Binding energy per nucleons decreases with increase in mass numbers.
The decrease of binding energy per nucleon for nuclei with a high mass number is due to increased Coulombic repulsion between protons inside the nucleus.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Nuclei - Question 4

The binding energy of deuteron is 2.2 MeV and that of   is 28 MeV. If two deuterons are fused to form one   then the energy released is          [2006]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Nuclei - Question 4

Energy released = 28 – 2 × 2.2 = 23.6 MeV (Binding energy is energy released on formation of Nucleus)

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Nuclei - Question 5

A nucleus AZX has mass represented by M (A, Z). If Mp and Mn denote the mass of proton and neutron respectively and B.E. the binding energy in MeV, then [2007]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Nuclei - Question 5

In the case of formation of a nucleus, the evolution of energy equal to the binding energy of the nucleus takes place due to the disappearance of a fraction of the total mass. If the quantity of mass disappearing is ΔM, then the binding energy is

BE = ΔMc2
From the above discussion, it is clear that the mass of the nucleus must be less than the sum of the masses of the constituent neutrons and protons. We can then write.


ΔM= [ZMp + (A-Z)Mn -M(A,Z)
 

Where M (A, Z)  is the mass of the atom of mass number A and atomic number Z. Hence, the binding energy of the nucleus is

BE = [ZMp + (A-Z)Mn -M(A,Z)]c2

Where N = A -Z = number of neutrons.

If M (A; Z), Mp and Mn denote the masses of the nucleus  proton and neutron respectively in units of u ( 1u = 931.5 MeV/c2) and BE represents its bonding energy in MeV, then [2008]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Nuclei - Question 7

Mass defect = ZMp + (A –Z)Mn–M(A,Z)

  ZMp + (A–Z) Mn–M(A,Z)

∴ M (A, Z) = ZMp + (A–Z)Mn

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Nuclei - Question 11

The binding energy per nucleon in deuteriumand helium nuclei are 1.1 MeV and 7.0 MeV,respectively. When two deuterium nuclei fuseto form a helium nucleus the energy released inthe fusion is :

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Nuclei - Question 11

Binding energy of two 1H2 nuclei = 2(1.1 × 2) = 4.4 MeV
Binding energy of one 2He4 nucelus = 4 × 7.0 =28 MeV
∴ Energy released = 28 – 4.4 = 23.6 MeV
