Question

) Determine the energy required to remove a proton from a Carbon
nucleus

Answer 1

@Jemurray3

Is it just a binding energy ?

Answer 2

You'll have to find the difference in mass energy between the initial and final states. The initial state is carbon 12, the final state is Boron 11 + a proton.

Answer 3

(M_carbon- M_boron) c^2

?

Answer 4

No, you need to add in a proton in the final state

Answer 5

(M_carbon-( M_boron+M_proton) c^2

Answer 6

yup. Remember, carbon 12, and boron 11.

Answer 7

thanks man
