Chemistry

Many transuranium elements, such as plutonium-232, have
very short half-lives. (For 232Pu, the half-life is 36minutes.)
However, some, like protactinium-231 (half-life 5 3.34 3
104 years), have relatively long half-lives. calculate the changein energy when
1 mole of 232Pu nuclei and 1 mole of 231Pa nuclei are each
formed from their respective number of protons and neutrons.
