Title: In fusion reactions to make superheavy elements, energy is required to bring the two nuclei together
Post by: Whelan on May 7, 2015
In fusion reactions to make superheavy elements, energy is required to bring the two nuclei together and to form additional mass. How much energy must be converted into mass for the alpha bombardment of 253Es to form 257Md? (The isotopic masses are 253Es = 253.08294 amu, 4He = 4.00260 amu, 257Md = 257.09558 amu.)
A) 3.01 × 106 kJ/mol
B) 9.04 × 108 kJ/mol
C) 3.59 × 1011 kJ/mol
D) 7.21 × 1011 kJ/mol
