उत्तर
Alpha particle decay of `""_88^226"Ra"` emits a helium nucleus. As a result, its mass number reduces to (226 − 4) 222 and its atomic number reduces to (88 − 2) 86. This is shown in the following nuclear reaction.
\[\ce{^226_88 Ra -> ^222_86 Ra + ^4_2He}\]
Q-value of
emitted α-particle = (Sum of initial mass − Sum of final mass) c2
Where,
c = Speed of light
It is given that:
`"m"(""_88^226"Ra")` = 226.02540 u
`"m"(""_86^222"Rn")` = 222.01750 u
`"m"(""_2^4"He")` = 4.002603 u
Q-value = [226.02540 − (222.01750 + 4.002603)] u c2
= 0.005297 u c2
But 1 u = 931.5 MeV/c2
∴ Q = 0.005297 × 931.5 ≈ 4.94 MeV
Kinetic energy of the α-particle = `("Mass number after decay"/"Mass number before decay") xx "Q"`
` = 222/226 xx 4.94 = 4.85 " MeV"`
