Question

WILL MEDAL AND FAN!!! What is the average binding energy per nucleon for an O-16 nucleus with a mass defect of 0.136 amu? (1 amu= 1.66 x 10-27 kg; 1 J = 1 kg m2/s2)

Answer 10

Since you know the mass defect, use E=mc2 to find the binding energy per mole. Then find the binding energy per atom, then per nucleon, since there are 16 nucleons per atom of 16O

Answer 11

so what would that look like?

Answer 12

Like what @fluttershyK said you would use the equation E = mc^2. If you know the mass defect and the speed of light being constant. 3.0∗10^8m/s
You than convert it into kilogram but thats all I know.

Answer 13

@Deathlynine you nailed it that's all
