Follow-up Question
explain to me why your answer is wrong and the answer is somewhat like this pls explain i don't understand
![The mass of the nucleus of an atom is less than that which would be predicted by summing the masses of the constituent nucleons. The energy equivalent of this mass deficit is
called the binding energy.
This is the equivalent of calculating AE for the exothermic process:
57 H+ 81;n→ La
where the binding energy, Eb, is the negative of AE.
(1) First calculate the difference between the atomic mass and the sum of the masses of the individual nucleons:
The number of protons = atomic number = 57
The mass number for lanthanum-138 = 138
The number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 138 - 57 = 81
The atomic mass of La = 137.90680
The proton mass = 1.00783
The neutron mass = 1.00867
Mass deficit = 137.90680 - [ 57(1.00783) + 81(1.00867) ] = -1.24178 g/mol = -1.24178×10-3 kg/mol
(2) Now calculate the energy equivalent of the mass deficit:
E = mc2
(units: J = kg m²/s²)
