Question : 3
Total: 31
Obtain the binding energy (in MeV) of a nitrogen nucleus (
N ) , given m (
N ) = 14.00307 u
Solution:
The
N nucleus contains 7 protons and 7 neutrons.
Mass of 7 protons = 7 × 1.00783 = 7.05481 amu
Mass of 7 neutrons = 7 × 1.00867 = 7.06069 amu
Total mass = 14.11550 amu
Mass of
N nucleus = 14.00307 amu
Mass defect, = Δm = 0.11243 amu
B.E. of nitrogen nucleus = 0.11243 × 931 = 104.67 MeV.
Mass of 7 protons = 7 × 1.00783 = 7.05481 amu
Mass of 7 neutrons = 7 × 1.00867 = 7.06069 amu
Total mass = 14.11550 amu
Mass of
Mass defect, = Δm = 0.11243 amu
B.E. of nitrogen nucleus = 0.11243 × 931 = 104.67 MeV.
