1. Where can we find an Einstein museum or store of some kind?
Here is a certain nuclear process.
"At very high temperatures, the following reaction can occur:
Name the process described in this situation.
Mass of the neutron = 1.008665 u
Mass of the proton = 1.007276 u
Mass of 4He2 = 4.001508 u
1 u is equivalent to 931 MeV"
Define the term binding energy. (3 marks)
Sketch a graph of the binding energy/nucleon against mass number.
Use the graph to explain how the reaction described above releases energy. (6 marks)
Show that the binding energy/nucleon of 4He2 is 7.1 MeV. ( 5 marks)
Explain why high temperatures are needed for this reaction to take place.
A neutron produced in this reaction strikes 7Li3, to produce 3H1, 4He2 and another particle. Write down the equation for this reaction. (4 marks)
