### AIEEE 2004

The binding energy per nucleon of deuteron $\left( {{}_1^2\,H} \right)$ and helium nucleus $\left( {{}_2^4\,He} \right)$ is $1.1$ $MeV$ and $7$ $MeV$ respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is
A
$23.6\,\,MeV$
B
$26.9\,\,MeV$
C
$13.9\,\,MeV$
D
$19.2\,\,MeV$

## Explanation

The nuclear reaction of process is $2_1^2H \to {4 \over 2}$ He

Energy released $= 4 \times \left( 7 \right) - 4\left( {1.1} \right) = 23.6\,MeV$

### AIEEE 2003

In the nuclear fusion reaction $${}_1^2H + {}_1^3H \to {}_2^4He + n$$
given that the repulsive potential energy between the two nuclei is $\sim 7.7 \times {10^{ - 14}}J$, the temperature at which the gases must be heated to initiate the reaction is nearly
[ Boltzmann's Constant $k = 1.38 \times {10^{ - 23}}\,J/K$ ]
A
${10^7}\,\,K$
B
${10^5}\,\,K$
C
${10^3}\,\,K$
D
${10^9}\,\,K$

## Explanation

The average kinetic energy per molecule $= {3 \over 2}kT$

This kinetic energy should be able to provide the repulsive potential energy

$\therefore$ ${3 \over 2}kT = 7.7 \times {10^{ - 14}}$

$\Rightarrow T = {{2 \times 7.7 \times {{10}^{ - 14}}} \over {3 \times 1.38 \times {{10}^{ - 23}}}} = 3.7 \times {10^9}$

### AIEEE 2003

Which of the following atoms has the lowest ionization potential ?
A
${}_7^{14}N$
B
${}_{55}^{133}\,Cs$
C
${}_{18}^{40}\,Ar$
D
${}_8^{16}\,O$

## Explanation

The ionisation potential increases from left to right in a period and decreases from top to bottom in a group. Therefore ceasium will have the lowest ionisation potential.

### AIEEE 2003

Which of the following cannot be emitted by radioactive substances during their decay ?
A
Protons
B
Neutrinoes
C
Helium nuclei
D
Electrons

## Explanation

The radioactive substances emit $\alpha$ -particles (Helium nucleus), $\beta$ -particles (electrons) and neutrinoes.
