Find the binding energy per nucleon for the plutonium isotope 239Pu. The mass of the neutral atom is 239.05216 u.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is "[tex]\bold{7.56 \ Me\ V}[/tex]".

Explanation:

calculating the binding energy on per nucleon:

calculating number of proton and neutrons:

proton [tex]P_u=94[/tex]

neutron[tex]= 239-94=145[/tex]

calculating mass:

proton mass [tex]\ m_P=1.007825 \ amu\\\\[/tex]

neutron mass [tex]\ m_n=1.008665 \ amu\\\\[/tex]

neutral atom mass [tex]m = 239.05216 \ amu\\\\[/tex]

mass of prtons[tex]= 94 \times 1.007825 = 94.73555 \ amu\\\\[/tex]  

mass of neutrons[tex]= 145 \times 1.008665= 146.256425 \ amu\\\\[/tex]

Total nucleons mass formula:

[tex]\to m_n = (P+n)[/tex]

          [tex]= 94.73555+ 146.256425\\\\= 240.991975 \ amu[/tex]

calculating the mass of defect:

[tex]\to \Delta m= m_n-m\\\\[/tex]

           [tex]= 240.991975 - 239.05216\\\\= 1.939815 \ amu\\\\[/tex]

calculating the total of the binding energy:

[tex]\to BE=\Delta m\times 931.5 \ mev[/tex]

          [tex]= 1.939815 \times 931.5\\\\=1806.938 \ Me \ V\\\\[/tex]

BE in per nucleon [tex]=\frac{BE}{239}= 7.56 \ Me\ V[/tex]
