the atomic mass of. 8 O 16. is 16.0000 amu find its binding energy per nucleon(1 amu =931Mev)
Answers
Answer:
1. Mass of nucleus = (8 × 1.00864 + 8 × 1.007274) amu. 2. (8 × 1.00864 + 8 × 1.007214 + 8 × 0.0055)amu 3. ∆m = [ZMp + (A - Z) Mn – M) 4. When two light nuclei are combined to form a heavy nucleus, the binding per nucleon increases. Hence the stability of atom increases. When heavy nucleus split into two light nuclei; B.E. for nucleon also increases.Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/1043850/atomic-mass-of-16-8o-is-found-to-be-16-0000u
Answer:
7.97MeV
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of proton p=8 and number of neutron, n=16−8=8
Total number of nucleon N=16
Combined mass of nuclei = total mass of proton + total mass of neutron =8×2.016490=16.13192 amu
Mass defect Δm=16.13192−15.9949=0.13702 amu
Binding energy per nucleon =Δmc
