Concept explainers
The energy released or the energy input required for the reaction
Answer to Problem 5P
The negative sign of the binding energy show that the energy released is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The reaction is
Calculation:
Consider the binding energy of the nucleus is,
The energy that corresponds to one
Consider the mass,
Consider the mass,
Then, the mass defect is,
The binding energy is,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the negative sign of the binding energy show that the energy released is
