Calculate the nuclear binding energy in mega-electronvolts (mev) per nucleon for 136 ba . 136 ba has a nuclear mass of 135.905 amu . nuclear binding energy per nucleon:

8.194 Mev per nucleon

Explanation:

Mass of Barium = 135.905 amu

number of proton = 56, number of neutron = 80

Md = (Mp + Mn) - Mb Mp is the mass of proton, Mn is the mass of neutron, Mb is the mass of barium and Md is the mass defect

Mn = 1.00867 amu Mp = 1.00728 amu

Md = ( 56 ( 1.00728) + 80 ( 1.00867) = 137.1013 - 135.905 =1.1963 amu

Md = 1.1963 × 1 ÷ ( 6.02214 × 10 ²⁶ amu ) = 1.9865 × 10 ⁻²⁷ kg

Energy = mc² = 1.9865 × 10 ⁻²⁷ kg × (2.99792 × 10 ⁸ m/s)²

E= 1.78537 × 10⁻¹⁰ J

to convert to Mev

1.78537 × 10⁻¹⁰ × 6241457006000 = 1114.33 Mev

binding energy per nucleon = 1114.33 / 136 =8.194 Mev per nucleon

the correct answer is option d

explanation:

i was wrong its d because they dont use cm when calculating square roots

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >
