Physics Question on deccay rate
In the nuclear reaction 13Al27(d,α)x,X is:
A
6C12
B
14Si30
C
12Mg25
D
11Na24
Answer
12Mg25
Explanation
Solution
Atomic number of reactants and products should be the same and atomic weights of reactants and products should be the same. d represent deuterium 1H2 α represent α− particle (He atom) =2He4 13Al27+1H2→X+2He4 13Al27+1H2→12Mg25+2He4
