What is the binding energy per nucleon (in MeV) for vanadium-50? The atomic mass of this relatively rare isotope is 49.94716 amu. You may assume this amu reflects the presence of 50 electrons.
INTERACTIVE EXAMPLE Nuclear Binding Energy II Calculate the binding energy per nucleon for the Fe nucleus. (Atomic masses: iron-56 = 55.9349 amu; hydrogen-1 = 1.0078 amu; mass of neutron = 1.0087 amu) HOW DO WE GET THERE? We must first calculate the mass defect (Am) for 56Fe. Since atomic masses (which include the electrons) are given, we must decide how to account for the electron mass: 55.9349 = mass of Fe atom = mass of nucleus + 26 me 1.0078 = mass of H atom = mass of nucleus + m. Thus, since a 56Fe nucleus is "synthesized" from 26 protons and 30 neutrons, we see that Am = (55.9349 - 26 m.) - [26(1.0078 - me) + 30(1.0087)]. Solve for Am. Am = 56.4634 amu
Radioactive substances ecay exsponetially. half - life is a conveinent way to describe the rate at which substances break down - its the time it takes for exactly half the subsatnce to decay. suppose a scientist with 100 grams of a substance with a half-life of 60 years. develope a function describing the amount A the substance reamining after n half-lives, and use it to determine how much of the substance will remain 200 years

Use the References to access important values if needed for this quertion. Radioactive decay can be described by the following equation In A = In Ag - kt where Ao is the original amount of the substance, A is the armount of the substance remaining after time t, and k is a constant that is characteristic of the substance. For the radioactive isotope phosphorus-32, k is 4.85 × 10-* days", If the original amount of phosphorus-32 in a sample is 64.9 mg, how much phosphorus-32 remains after 14.6 days have passed?
