(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Binding energy per nucleon of 59Co has to be calculated in MeV.

Concept Introduction:

Nuclear reaction: A nuclear reaction in which a lighter nucleus fuses together into new stable nuclei or a heavier nucleus split into stable daughter nuclei with the release of large amount of energy.

Nuclear binding energy: It is the energy that requires for the breaking one mole of nuclei of an element to its individual nucleons.

  Nucleus + nuclear binding energy  nucleons

It can be calculated in MeV using the given formula,

  Binding energy = Δm(in amu)×931.5 MeV1 amu

Nucleon: Nucleon is the collective name given to the members of the nucleus that is protons and neutrons.

The difference between mass of an atom and the sum of the masses of its proton and neutron is called Mass difference.

Binding Energy per Nucleon can be determined as follows:

  Binding energy per nucleon = Binding energyNo. of nucleons

Explanation of Solution

Given information is shown below,

Mass of Cobalt-59 is 58.933198 amu.

In 59Co, there are 27 protons and 32 neutrons.

  • Calculate the mass difference:

As known the mass H atom is 1.007825 amu and mass of neutron is 1.008665 amu.

Mass difference in 59Co can be calculated as given,

  Δm = [(27×mass H atom)+(32×mass of neutron)][58.933198 amu]= [(27×1.007825 amu)+(32×1.008665 amu)][58.933198 amu]= [(27.211275 amu)+(32.27728 amu)][58.933198 amu]= 0.555357 amu

Mass difference in 59Co is 0.555357 amu.

  • Calculate the binding energy per nucleon:

Number of nucleons in 59Co is 59.

Binding energy per nucleon of 59Co in MeV is calculated as follows,

  Binding Energy per Nucleon= Δm(in amu)×931.5 MeV1 amuNo. of nucleons= (0.555357 amu)×931.5 MeV1 amu59 nucleons= 8.768 MeV/nucleon

Binding energy per nucleon of 59Co is 8.768 MeV/nucleon.
