Answer: (a) BE = 1.112 MeV

               (b) BE = 7.074 MeV

               (c) BE = 7.767 MeV

               (d) BE = 8.112 MeV

Explanation: Binding energy per nucleon is the average energy necessary to remove a proton or a neutron from the nucleus of an atom. It is mathematically defined as:

BE = \frac{\Delta m.c^{2}}{A}

Where

Δm is a difference in mass known as <u><em>mass</em></u><em> </em><u><em>defect</em></u>

A is atomic mass of an atom.

Mass Defect is determined by:

\Delta m =Zm_{p}+(A-Z)m_{n} - m_{nuc}

where:

Z is atomic number

m_{p} is mass of proton

m_{n} is mass of neutron

m_{nuc} is mass of the nucleus

Mass of proton is 1.007825u.

Mass of neutron is 1.008665u.

The unit u is equal to 931.5MeV/c².

(a) 2H(deuterion): Given: Z = 1; A = 2; m_{nuc} = 2.014102u

\Delta m =1(1.007825)+1(1.008665) -2.014102

\Delta m =0.002388u

BE = \frac{0.002388.c^{2}}{2}.931.5\frac{MeV}{c^{2}}

BE = 1.112MeV

(b) 4He (Helium): Given: Z = 2; A = 4; m_{nuc} = 4.002603

\Delta m =2(1.007825)+2(1.008665) -4.002603

\Delta m =0.030377u

BE = \frac{0.030377.c^{2}}{4}.931.5\frac{MeV}{c^{2}}

BE = 7.074MeV

(c) 18O (Oxygen): Given: Z = 8; A = 18; m_{nuc} = 17.999160

\Delta m =8(1.007825)+10(1.008665) -17.999160

\Delta m =0.15009u

BE = \frac{0.15009.c^{2}}{18}.931.5\frac{MeV}{c^{2}}

BE = 7.767MeV

(d) 23Na (Sodium): Given: Z = 11; A = 23; m_{nuc} = 22.989767

\Delta m =11(1.007825)+12(1.008665) -22.989767

\Delta m =0.200288u

BE = \frac{0.200288.c^{2}}{23}.931.5\frac{MeV}{c^{2}}

BE = 8.112MeV

When water changes state from a liquid to a solid is energy absorbed or lost?
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Loses

Explanation:

liquid changes into solid, heat is released. The energy released upon freezing, known as the enthalpy of fusion, is a latent heat, and is exactly the same as the energy required to melt the same amount of the solid.
