find the binding energy and binding energy per nucleon for 26 Fe ^56

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,

Let given is,mass of neutron=1.008665 amumass of proton= 1.007825 amumass of Fe5626=55.934939 amu Fe5626 has 26 proton and (56-26=) 30 neutronsMass of 26 protons and 30 neutrons=26 ×1.007825+30 ×1.008665=56.46340amum=56.46340-55.934939=0.528461 amu We know, 1 amu convert to 931.5 MeVBinding energy=0.528461×931.5=492.26 MeVBinding energy per nucleon=492.2656=8.790 MeV
