Question

proton help

Answer 1

is that Co like Cobalt?

Answer 2

this is what i have so far
The mass defect of a nucleus would be 0.56342 amu. The mass defect in kilograms is 9.355 × 10-28 kilograms.

Answer 3

Yes Co as in colbalt

Answer 4

I just need help on
What is the energy equivalent of this mass in kilojoules?

Answer 5

calculate the mass of cobalt due to protons and neutrons.

Subtract the mass you get from 59.9338 .

The remaining mass is mass defect (in amu). Convert this to kg


For energy equivalent. Multiply the mass defect you get by 931.5 MeV to get your answer

Answer 6

The mass defect of a nucleus would be 0.56342 amu. The mass defect in kilograms is 9.355 × 10-28 kilograms.

^ am i correct?

Answer 7

931.5 MeV is the answer for energy equivalent.????

Answer 8

Nope. (Mass defect * 931.5 MeV) is the answer for energy equivalent.

Answer 9

okay

Answer 10

After you have done that.

1MeV = 10^6 eV = 1.6 *10^(-13) J

Answer 11

0.56342 x 931.5 = ?

Answer 12

is that how it should be?

Answer 13

0.56342 x 931.5 x 1.6 *10^(-13)

Answer 14

This is to get the answer in joules

Answer 15

8.39721168 × 10^-11?

Answer 16

is that the answer?

Answer 17

energy equivalent of this mass in joules = 8.39721168 × 10^-11 J

Therefore

What is the energy equivalent of this mass in kilojoules?

Answer 18

Im really confused..

Answer 19

1 kilojoules = 10^3 joules
Now try :)

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21

8.39721168 × 10^-14

Answer 22

@Hayatcakes , you are right

Answer 23

But make sure you always write the units while writing the answer
