We are given the following atomic masses:
\({ }_{92}^{238} \mathrm{U}=238.05079~\text{u},{ }_2^4 \mathrm{He}=4.00260~\text{u} \\ { }_{90}^{234} \mathrm{Th}=234.04363~\text{u},{ }_1^1 \mathrm{H}=1.00783~\text{u}\\ { }_{91}^{237} \mathrm{~Pa}=237.05121~\text{u} \)

Here the symbol \(\mathrm{Pa}\) is for the element protactinium \((Z=91)\).

The energy released during the alpha decay of \({}^{238}_{92}\mathrm{U}\) 
is:
1. \(6.14~\text{MeV}\)
2. \(7.68~\text{MeV}\)
3. \(4.25~\text{MeV}\)
4. \(5.01~\text{MeV}\)

Here the symbol Pa is for the element protactinium \((Z=91)\).

Then:

1. \({}_{92}^{238}\mathrm{U}\) can not spontaneously emit a proton.
2. \({}_{92}^{238}\mathrm{U}\) can spontaneously emit a proton.
3. The \(Q\text-\)value of the process is negative.
4. Both (1) and (3) are correct.

Which one of the following is incorrect?

1. A chemical equation is balanced in the sense that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
2. The number of atoms of each element is not necessarily conserved in a nuclear reaction.
3. The number of protons and the number of neutrons are conserved in each nuclear reaction.
4. Mass-energy interconversion takes place only in nuclear reactions and never in the chemical reaction.

Graph given below shows the variation of binding energy per nucleon, Ebn as a function of mass number. For nuclei with mass number A such that, 30 < A < 170, Ebn is almost constant because nuclear forces are:

 

1. Short-ranged 

2. Medium-ranged

3. Long-ranged

4. None of the above
