MCQ
You are given that mass of ${ }_3^7 L=7.0160 u$,
Mass of ${ }_2^4 He =4.0026 u$
and Mass of ${ }_1^1 H =1.0079 u$
When 20 g of ${ }_3^7 Li$ is converted into ${ }_2^4 He$ by proton capture, the energy liberated, (in kWh ), is:
[Mass of nucleon $=1 GeV / c ^2$ ]
  • A
    $4.5 \times 10^5$
  • B
    $8 \times 10^6$
  • C
    $1.33 \times 10^6$
  • D
    $6.82 \times 10^5$

Answer

C. $1.33 \times 10^6$
Explanation:
$\begin{array}{l}{ }_3^7 Li +{ }_1^1 H \longrightarrow 2\left({ }_2^4 He \right) \\ \Delta m \rightarrow\left[ m _{ Li }+ m _{ H }\right]-2\left[ M _{ He }\right] \\ \text { Energy released }=\Delta mc ^2 \\ \text { In use of } 1 g Li \text { energy released }=\frac{\Delta m c^2}{m_{ Li }} \\ \text { In use of } 20 g \text { energy released }=\frac{\Delta m c^2}{m Li} \times 20 g \\ =\frac{[(7.016+1.0079)-2 \times 4.0026] u \times c^2}{7.016 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-24}} \times 20 g \\ =\left(\frac{0.0187 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 10^9}{7.016 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-24}} \times 20\right)=480 \times 10^{10} J \\ \because 1 J=2.778 \times 10^{-7} kWh \\ \therefore \text { Energy released }=480 \times 10^{10} \times 2.778 \times 10^{-7} \\ =1.33 \times 10^6 kWh \end{array}$
