Chapter 24, Problem 24.76P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

One Arsenic-84 nucleus is decayed with an energy of $\text{1}\text{.57}\times {10}^{-15}\text{ kJ}$. The unit of energy has to be converted from $J\text{ to eV}\text{.}$

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:

$1\text{ kJ = }\left(1000\text{ J}\right)\left(\frac{1\text{ eV}}{1.602\times {10}^{-19}\text{ J}}\right)$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

One Arsenic-84 nucleus is decayed with an energy of $\text{1}\text{.57}\times {10}^{-15}\text{ kJ}$. The unit of energy has to be converted from $J\text{ to MeV}\text{.}$

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:

  $1\text{ kJ = }\left(1000\text{ J}\right)\left(\frac{1\text{ eV}}{1.602\times {10}^{-19}\text{ J}}\right)$

  $1{\text{ MeV = 10}}^6\text{ eV}$
