Calculate the binding energy per nucleon of an Al-27 nucleus given the following masses:Electron= 26.981541 amuProton = 1.007825 amuNeutron = 1.008665 amu

Respuesta :

The Binding Energy per Nucleon of an Al -27 nucleus Electron= 26.981541 amu, Proton = 1.007825 amu, Neutron = 1.008665 amu  is 8.33 MeV

By dividing the total binding energy of the nucleus by the total number of nucleons, one can calculate the binding energy per nucleon. Mathematically,

Binding energy per nucleon is equal to the sum of all the nucleons.

we know the binding energy can be calculate with formulla:

E= Δmc²

Total binding energy (E) is 931.5 MeV/amu

first we should calculate mass defect (Δm)

Total binding energy (E) is 931.5 MeV/amu

proton = 1.007825 amu

Number of protons in Al-27 = 13

So, the total mass of protons ( mp) = 13.101725 amu

neutron = 1.008665 amu

Number of neutrons in Al-27 = 14

So, the total mass of total neutrons ( mn)= 14.121310 amu

Atomic mass of Al-27 26.981541 amu

Thus, the mass defect can be calculate as follows,

Δm=mp+mn−A

Δm= 0.241492 amu

so the binding energy,

E= Δm X total binding energy

E = 0.241494 amu x 931.5 MeV/amu

E =224.95 MeV

The Binding Energy per Nucleon can be calculate as follows:

Binding Energy per Nucleon =           Binding Energy            

                                                Total number of nucleons

=224.95 MeV/27

= 8.33 MeV
