Interpretation:
The nuclear binding energy and nuclear binding energyper nucleon, in joules, for a given nucleus is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The nuclear binding energy is calculated by using the relation as follows:
Here,
The mass defect is defined as the difference between the given mass and the predicted mass. Thus, the formula of themass defect is as follows:
Here,

Answer to Problem 19QP
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
a)
In the given nucleus,
The mass of
The predicted mass of
The mass defect is calculated by using the relation as follows:
Substitute
The value of mass defect is converted into Kg by using the relation:
The nuclear binding energy is calculated by the relation as follows:
Substitute
The magnitude of binding energy is considered.
Now, the nuclear binding energy per nucleon is calculated as follows:
The number of nucleons is defined as the sum of protons and neutrons.
Thus,
Substitute
Therefore, the nuclear binding energy per nucleon is
