Chapter 24, Problem 24.78P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Energy released per nucleus (in $\text{MeV}$) when $3.2\times {10}^{-3}{\text{ mol }}^{49}Cr$ has to be determined where it gives $8.11\times {10}^5\text{ kJ}$ of energy during decaying.

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:

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