Question

The most stable nucleus in terms of binding energy per nucleon is ⁵⁶Fe. If the atomic mass of ⁵⁶Fe is 55.9349 amu, calculate the binding energy per nucleon for ⁵⁶Fe, in Joules. The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.0078 amu, and the mass of a neutron is 1.0087 amu. (1 J = 1 kg·m²/s², 1 amu = 1.66 × 10⁻²⁷ kg)

Step 1

Total mass = (26 protons x 1.0078 amu) + (30 neutrons x 1.0087 amu) Total mass = 26.20 amu + 30.261 amu Total mass = 56.461 amu Show more…
