A sample of radium 88 224 Ra (atomic mass = 224.020186 u, T1/2 = 3.66 days) contains N0 = 1.83×1021 nuclei and undergoes a decay to produce radon 86 220 Rn (atomic mass = 220.011368 u). The atomic mass of an a particle is 4.002603 u . The latent heat of fusion for water is 33.5×104 J/kg. With the energy released in 3.66 days, how many kilograms of ice could be melted at 0∘C

Review Conceptual Example 5 as background for this problem. Suppose some nucleus undergoes α decay, releasing 5.7 MeV of energy. If the daughter product of this reaction is 92 236 X (atomic mass = 236.04556), it will recoil away as the α particle leaves. Determine (a) the energy of the daughter product and (b) the energy of the α particle (atomic mass = 4.002603 u). Assume that the energy of each particle is kinetic energy, and ignore any other small amounts of energy that might be carried away by other emissions. In addition, ignore relativistic effects.

(a) A freezer maintains an interior temperature inside of −26.0∘C and has a coefficient of performance of 3.00 . The freezer sits in a room with a temperature of 21.0∘C. The freezer is able to completely convert 32.0 g of liquid water at 21.0∘C to ice at −26.0∘C in one minute. What input power (in watts) does the freezer require? (The specific heat of liquid water is 4.186 J/(g⋅∘C), the specific heat of ice is 2.090 J/(g⋅∘C), and the latent heat of fusion of water is 334 J/g. ) W (b) What If? In reality, only part of the power consumption of a freezer is used to make ice. The remainder is used to maintain the temperature of the rest of the freezer. Suppose, however, that 100% of a freezer's typical power consumption of 160 W is available to make ice. The freezer has the same coefficient of performance as given above. How many grams per minute of water at 21.0∘C could this freezer convert to ice at −26.0∘C? g/min

A sample is bombarded by incident X-rays, and free electrons in the sample scatter some of the X-rays at an angle of θ = 119.0∘ with respect to the incident X-rays, as shown in the drawing. The scattered X rays have a momentum whose magnitude is 1.973×10−24 kg⋅m/s. Determine the wavelength (in nm) of the incident X-rays. (For accuracy, use h = 6.626×10−34 J⋅s, c = 2.998×108 m/s, and m = 9.109×10−31 kg for the mass of an electron.)
