The molar nuclear mass of fluorine-19 is 18.99840 g/mol.The molar mass of a proton is 1.007825 g/mol and neutron is 1.008665 g/mol.Calculate the binding energy (in J/mol)of F-19.(c = 2.998 × 10⁸ m/s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The binding energy is calculated using the mass defect, which is the difference between the sum of the masses of protons and neutrons and the actual nuclear mass. For F-19, with 9 protons and 10 neutrons, the mass defect is calculated and then converted to energy using E=mc².

The Molar Nuclear Mass of Fluorine-19 Is 18
