What is the equation that calculates in nuclear reaction?
In a nuclear reaction, a small amount of mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2. The energy released is in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as gamma rays, and the kinetic energy of the particles produced in the reaction.
To calculate the mass defect in a nuclear reaction, subtract the total mass of the reactants from the total mass of the products. The difference represents the mass that was converted into energy during the reaction, according to Einstein's equation Emc2.
A nuclear equation is balanced when the sum of atomic numbers and mass numbers on each side of the equation is the same.
Before the reaction, the energy exists as potential energy, caused by the nuclear forces. After the reaction, the energy goes away as gamma rays for example, which may eventually be absorbed and get converted to heat.
The law of conservation of mass states that in any chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed. Therefore, in a balanced chemical equation you must have the same number of atoms of each element 1) on either side of the equation.1) ImprovementAlso the conservation of 'Elements' comes into my mind: it is necessarily for a well balanced equation. If we sort out 'Nuclear Reactions' then this is a true case!
Nuclear fusion in sun is followed by proton proton chain reaction during this reaction hydrogen fused to form helium the main products of this reaction according to nuclear equation is - positron, neutrino, gamma ray photons, isotopes of hydrogen and helium
While overall ENERGY has to be conserved, MASS does not. In a nuclear reaction mass can be converted into energy so the mass of the products may be less than the mass of the reactants. The difference in mass is converted into energy as Einstein's equation describes (E=MC squared). In a chemical reaction MASS has to be conserved.
The law of conservation of mass is obeyed when a chemical equation is balanced. This law states that the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction. Balancing an equation ensures that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation, thus conserving mass.
Conservation laws in nuclear reactions include conservation of mass-energy, conservation of electric charge, conservation of momentum, and conservation of lepton number. These laws dictate that the total mass-energy of particles before and after a nuclear reaction must remain constant, as well as the total charge and momentum. Lepton number conservation ensures the number of leptons (like electrons and neutrinos) remains the same throughout the reaction.
can't be explained in chemical equation as it is nuclear. reaction is fusion of ionized hydrogen nuclei into ionized helium nuclei. every other hydrogen nucleus transforms from a proton to a neutron in the process.
In a nuclear fusion reaction, the mass of the products is slightly less than the mass of the reactants. This loss of mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's E=mc^2 equation. The difference in mass is known as the mass defect.
