To find:
a) The balanced
b) The binding energy of
Answer to Problem 21.47QA
Solution:
a) Balanced nuclear equation for decay of
b) The binding energy of
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept:
First, we will balance the nuclear equation for decay of
2) Formula:
Albert Einstein equation for the binding energy.
3) Given:
i) The exact mass of
ii)
iii)
iv) Mass of neutrons =
v) Mass of electrons =
vi) Speed of light c =
4) Calculation:
a)
The balanced equation for decay of
b) The binding energy is calculated using Albert Einstein equation and exact mass of
To calculate the mass of the nucleons, we have to subtract the mass of 6 electrons from exact mass
Now, we calculate the mass of neutrons and protons present in the one atom of
Now, calculate the mass defect
Now, calculate the binding energy (BE) by using Albert Einstein equation
Conclusion:
We determined the balanced nuclear equation and calculated the binding energy from the exact mass and mass defect.
