use 6 decimal places 4 Write the balanced nuclear reactions

(use 6 decimal places 4) Write the balanced nuclear reactions and calculate the Q-values (Mev) for the masses) for: (25 points) a) Fusion of deuterium and helium-3 to produce helium-4 241 c) Fusion of deuterium and tritium to produce helium-4 d) Positron decay of 1 F e) Neutron capture by 23\" Pu

Solution

A. _1H² + ₂He³ = ₂He⁴+ ₁H¹

B. ₉₄Pu241= ₉₂U²³⁷+ ₂He⁴

C. ₁H²+ ₁H³= ₂He⁴+ ₀n¹

D. ₉F¹⁸= _8O¹⁸+ ₁e⁰

E. ₉₄Pu²³⁹+₀n¹= ₉₄Pu²⁴⁰+ gamma rays
