<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Binding energy = 123.4 MeV

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The O-16 nucleus has a mass of 15.9905 amu, A proton has a mass of 1.00727 amu,a neutron has a mass of 1.00866 amu, and 1 amu is equivalent to 931 MeV of energy.
  • The oxygen isotope with 16 nucleons has 8 protons and 8 neutrons, so Z=8 and A=16.

Therefore;

<em>Proton mass: 1.00727 amu x 8 = 8.05816 amu </em>

<em>Neutron mass: 1.00866 amu x 8 = 8.06928 amu </em>

<em>Total                                               =  16.12744 amu </em>

<em>Mass defect = 16.12744 amu -15.9949 amu</em>

<em>                      = 0.1325 amu </em>

<em>Binding energy = 0.1325 amu x 931 MeV/amu</em>

<em>                           = </em><u><em>123.4 MeV</em></u>

What is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom called?
anzhelika [568]

This is called the Mass Number of the isotope of the atom.

Isotopes are different forms of the same atom. They have the same number of protons  but different number of neutrons.

Carbon-12 has mass number  12 as it has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.

Carbon-14 has mass number 14 as its has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

How many moles are equal to 1.2 x 10^21 molecules of lithium?
Shtirlitz [24]
1 mole --------------------------- 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
( moles lithium ) --------------- 1.2 x 10²¹ molecules

( moles lithium ) = (1.2 x 10²¹ ) x 1  / ( 6.02 x 10²³ )

= 1.2 x 10²¹ / 6.02 x 10²³

= 2.0 x 10⁻³ moles of lithium

Answer D
