Q 203 Marks Question3 Marks
The Q-value of a nuclear reaction A + b → C + d is defined by
$Q =\left[m_{ A }+m_b-m_{ C }-m_d\right] c^2$
where the masses refer to the respective nuclei. Determine from the given data the Q-value of the following reactions and state whether the reactions are exothermic or endothermic :
(i) ${ }_1^1 H +{ }_1^3 H \rightarrow{ }_1^2 H +{ }_1^2 H$
(ii) ${ }_6^{12} C +{ }_6^{12} C \rightarrow{ }_{10}^{20} Ne +{ }_2^4 He$
Atomic masses are given to be
$\begin{array}{l} m \left({ }_1^2 H \right)=2.014102 u \\ m\left({ }_1^3 H \right)=3.016049 u \\ m\left({ }_6^{12} C \right)=12.000000 u \\ m\left({ }_{10}^{20} Ne \right)=19.992439 u \end{array}$

Calculate the height of the potential barrier for a head-on collision of two deuterons.
(Hint: The height of the potetnial barrier is given by the Coulomb repulsion between the two deuterons when they just touch each other. Assume that they can be taken as hard spheres of radius 2.0 fm.)
