(а).  21084Pо undergоes аlphа decay. Write dоwn the complete decay equation and identify the daughter nuclide.              (2.5 points) (b).         Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay as follows:    23892 U→ 42He +  23490 Th         Mass    23892 U  = 238.050786 u,     Mass    42 He  = 4.002603 u and  mass  223490 Th =234.043583 u          Calculate the binding energy (to four significant figures) for this nuclear reaction.                             (2.5 points)                     u = 1.66 x 10-27 kg            c= 3.0 x 10 8 m/s       eV = 1.6 x 10 -19 J               (c).     Iodine-131, a beta emitter, has a half-life of 8 days. A 60-gram sample of initially pure iodine-131 is stored for 80 days. How much iodine-131 remains in            the sample afterward?                               (2.5 points)
