When a stationary plutonium-239, 239/94 Pu, decays into uranium-235 plus an alpha particle, the energy released in the process is 5.24 MeV. The following masses are known: 4/2 He: 4.002603 u 235/92 U: 235.043924 u What is the mass of the 239/94 Pu nucleus, in amu? (1 u = 931.494 MeV/c2)
The binding energy of a nucleus is 106.0 MeV. What is the mass defect of the nucleus in atomic mass units?
Stars generate energy through nuclear fusion. A fusion reaction is exoergic (i.e., it gives off energy) if the product has a lower rest energy than the original nuclei. The binding energy of a nucleus is defined as the difference between the rest energy that the individual particles would have if they were not bound in a nucleus and the rest energy of the nucleus itself. So, stated another way, fusion reactions are exoergic if the binding energy of the product...
What is the binding energy per nucleon for the following isotopes ? Suppose that mnn = 1.008665 u, m1H1H = 1.007825 u, 1 u = 931.494 MeV/c22. 1) What is the binding energy per nucleon for 44He? (Express your answer to six significant figures.) Please show work will rate
plutonium-239 (239/94 Pu) is an isotope that can be used as a fuel in nuclear reactors. when the plutonium nucleus is hit by a nuetron it undergoes fission, and splits into two smaller nuclei. there are many possibilities for what the smaller nuclei might be, but we'll just look at one possible fission reaction where it splits into cerium 148 (148/58 Ce) and krypton 89 (89/36 Kr) a) write an equation for the fission of plutonium 239 into cerium 148...

What is the binding energy, ΔE, for a beryllium-9 nucleus in MeV/nucleon? Recall that 1 MeV=1.60×10−13 J.
Determine the mass defect and the binding energy in MeV/nucleon for 10146 Pd (atomic mass = 100.908287 amu). Proton = 1.00783 amu, neutron = 1.00866 amu, and 1 amu = 931.5 MeV?
The most stable nucleus in terms of binding energy per nucleon is ⁵⁶Fe. If the atomic mass of ⁵⁶Fe is 55.9349 amu, calculate the binding energy per nucleon for ⁵⁶Fe. The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.0078 amu, and the mass of a neutron is 1.0087 amu. (1 J = 1 kg・m²/s², 1 amu = 1.66 × 10⁻²⁷ kg)
