Question

Find the energy equivalent(in MeV) of 1/12 of the mass of one atom of carbon -12
​

Answer 1

Answer:

These are often given in terms of an atomic mass unit, where one atomic mass unit (u) is defined as 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom. ... The binding energy in the carbon-12 atom is therefore 0.098931 u * 931.5 MeV/u = 92.15 MeV.
