Chapter 24, Problem 24.75P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ${}^{\text{3}}\text{H}$ nucleus is decayed with energy of $\text{0}\text{.01861 MeV}$. The unit of energy has to be converted from $MeV\text{ to eV}\text{.}$

Concept Introduction:

Nuclear binding energy: It is the energy that requires for the breaking one mole of nuclei of an element to its individual nucleons.

Unit conversion:

  $1{\text{ MeV = 10}}^6\text{ eV}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ${}^{\text{3}}\text{H}$ nucleus is decayed with energy of $\text{0}\text{.01861 MeV}$. The unit of energy has to be converted from $MeV\text{ to J}\text{.}$

Concept Introduction:

Nuclear binding energy: It is the energy that requires for the breaking one mole of nuclei of an element to its individual nucleons.

Unit conversion:

  $1\text{ MeV = }\left({\text{10}}^6\text{ eV}\right)\left(\frac{1.602\times {10}^{-19}\text{ J}}{1\text{ eV}}\right).$
