The peak of the stability curve occurs at 56Fe, which is why iron is prominent in the spectrum of the Sun and stars. Show that 56Fe has a higher binding energy per nucleon than its neighbors 55Mn and59 Co. Compare your results with Figure 29.4.

To obtain the most precise value of BE from the equation BE=[ZM(1H)+Nmn]c2m(AX)c2, we should take into account the binding energy of the electrons in the neutral atoms. Will doing this produce a larger or smaller value for BE? Why is this effect usually negligible?

(a) Calculate the number of grams of deuterium in an 80.000L swimming pool, given deuterium is 0.0150% of natural hydrogen. (b) Find the energy released in joules if this deuterium is fused via the reaction 2H+2H3He+n. (c) Could the neutrons be used to create more energy? (d) Discuss the amount of this type of energy in a swimming pool as compared to that in, say, a gallon of gasoline, also taking into consideration that water is far more abundant.

56Fe is among the most tightly bound of all nuclides. It makes up more than 90% of natural iron. Note that 56Fe has an even number of both protons and neutrons.  Calculate BE/A, the binding energy per nucleon, for 56Fe in megaelectron volts per nucleon.

A wood artifact discovered in 1990 showed a 14C-activity equivalent to 43% of that found in the living tree. The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. How old was the artifact at the time the discovery was made? Answer: 7.0 x 103 yrs I am having a hard time reaching this answer. Can you please show me your calculations to getting this answer? Thank you.

56Fe is among the most tightly bound of all nuclides. It is more than 90% of natural iron. Note that 56Fe has even numbers of both protons and neutrons. Calculate BE/A, the binding energy per nucleon, for 56Fe and compare it with the approximate value obtained from the graph in Figure 31.26.

The peak of the graph of nuclear binding energy per nucleon occurs near 56Fe, which is why iron is prominent in the spectrum of the Sun and stars. Show that 56Fe has a higher binding energy per nucleon than its neighbors 55Mn and 59Co.

The nucleus 64Zn has a tabulated binding energy of 559.09 MeV. Use the semiempirical binding-energy formula to generate a theoretical estimate of the binding energy for this nucleus.

A single atom of cesium-133 has a mass, in atomic mass units, of 132.90545193 u. Determine a) the mass defect in atomic mass units b) the total binding energy in MeV c) the average binding energy per nucleon Thank you for the help. I appreciate it

Using the graph given, estimate how much energy is released when a nucleus of mass number 200 fissions into two nuclei each of mass number 100.
