Question

Calculate the binding energy for  ,which consists of 92 protons,92 electrons,and 146 neutrons with a total mass of 238.0507826 u.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The binding energy can be calculated using the formula: binding energy = [Z(mass of proton) + N(mass of neutron) - total mass of nucleus]c^2 where Z is the number of protons, N is the number of neutrons, and c is the speed of light. Plugging in the values: Z = 92 N = 146 mass of proton = 1.007276 u mass of neutron = 1.008665 u total mass of nucleus = 238.0507826 u c = 2.998 x 10^8 m/s binding energy = [92(1.007276) + 146(1.008665) - 238.0507826]c^2 = 2.90 x 10^14 J = 2.90 F1F1F1S1 x F1F1F10 10^-10 J Therefore, the best choice is C.
