Calculate the nuclear binding energy of 1 mol lithium-7.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nuclear binding energy of an atom can be calculated using the mass defect and converting that mass into energy using Einstein's equation, E=mc^2. The mass defect is the difference between the mass of the nucleus and the sum of the masses of its protons and neutrons. For lithium-7, this calculation involves knowing the exact mass of a lithium-7 atom, the masses of protons and neutrons, and the number of each in the nucleus. The correct answer typically involves detailed calculations that account for the mass defect and Avogadro's number to convert to moles. The given options seem to be formatted incorrectly, but the correct approach involves these principles. The choice provided as correct (E) suggests a specific energy value, which would result from such calculations.
