Express your answer in 2 decimal places. 

Calculate for the binding energy in MeV per nucleon of 232 Th if the actual mass of the atom is 232.038 amu.
90
Mass of proton = 1.0078 amu; Mass of neutron = 1.0087 amu
Speed of light = 3.00 x 10° m/s
1 amu = 1 g/mol = 1.66 x 1027
kg
1 MeV = 1.60 x 10-13 J
