Consider an $\alpha$-particle just in contact with a $ _{\;  92}^{238}\textrm{U}$ nucleus. The Coulombic repulsion energy  (i.e, the height of the Coulombic barrier between $^{238}\textrm{U}$ and alpha particle) assuming that the distance between them is equal to the sum of their radii is

  1. $16.35 \, MeV$

  2. $46.66 \, MeV$

  3. $22.24 \, MeV$

  4. $26.14 \, MeV$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The expression for the radius of the nucleus is as shown below.
$r _{nucleus} =1.3\times 10^{-13}(A)^{1/3}$; where $A$ is mass number
Radius of  $ _{92}^{238}\textrm{U}=1.3\times10^{-13}\times (238)^{1/3}$
                           $= 8.06\times 10^{-13}cm$
Radius of $ _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}=1.3\times10^{-13}\times (4)^{1/3}$
                         $=2.06\times10^{-13}cm$
Total distance between uranium and helium nuclei is equal to the sum of their radii. 

It is $=(8.06 + 2.06)\times10^{-13}=10.12\times10^{-13}cm$ 

The Coulombic repulsion energy is: 
$\displaystyle \frac{Q _1Q _2}{r}$ $\displaystyle =\frac{92\times 4.8\times 10^{-10}\times 2\times 4.8\times 10^{-10}}{10.12\times 10^{-13}}erg$                (because $Q _1$ and  $Q _2$  in  esu and r in cm)     
                                      
            $=418.9\times 10^{-7}erg= 418.9\times 10^{-14}$J

            $=418.9\times 10^{-14}/1.602\times 10^{-19}\ eV$
              
            $\displaystyle =\frac{26.14\times 10^6}{10^6}\ MeV$

            $=26.14 \, MeV$

Hence, the coulombic repulsion energy is $26.14\ MeV$.

  1. Enthalpy.

  2. Entropy

  3. Free energy

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Enthalpy : Chemical reactions are generally carried out at constant pressure (atmospheric pressure) and heat of reaction at constant pressure is called Enthalpy (H) as:
$H = U + PV$ (By definition).

The relationship between enthalpy and internal energy change is

  1. $\,\Delta U = \Delta H + P\Delta V$

  2. $\,\Delta H = \Delta U + P\Delta V$

  3. $\,\Delta H = \Delta U - P\Delta V$

  4. $\,P\Delta V = \Delta U + \Delta H$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Chemical reactions are generally carried out at constant pressure (atmospheric pressure) so it has been found useful to define a new state function Enthalpy (H) as :
$ H = U + PV$ ( By definition )
$ \Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta (PV)$
$ \Delta H = \Delta  U + P\Delta V $ (at constant pressure) combining with first law.
$ \Delta H = q _{p}$

An athelete is given 100 g of glucose $(C _6H _{12}O _6)$ of energy equivalent to 1560 kJ. He utilises 50 percent of this gained energy in the event. In order to avoid storage of energy in the body, Determine the weight of water he would need to perspire. (The enthalpy of evaporation of water is 44 kJ/mole.)

  1. 319 gm

  2. 323 gm

  3. 342 gm

  4. 312

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Net amount of energy given to athlete $= 1560 kJ$

$1560 × 50/100$ Energy lost in an event $= 780 kJ$
 Energy left out $= 1560 – 780 kJ = 780 kJ$
 Now, consider the evaporation of water $H _2O(l) \rightarrow H _2O(g)$; $\Delta H = 44 kJ mole^{–1}$
 Thus, for consumption of $44 kJ$ of energy the amount of water evaporated $=1mole= 18 g$ 
For consumption of $780 kJ$ of energy the amount of water to be evaporated $ \frac {18 \times  780}{44} = 319·09 g$
