Answer:

The binding energy per nucleon = 1.368*10^-12  (option D)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

The mass of a proton is 1.00728 amu

The mass of a neutron is 1.00867 amu

The mass of a cobalt-60 nucleus is59.9338 amu

Step 2: Calculate binding energy

The mass defect = the difference between the mass of a nucleus and the total mass of its constituent particles.

Cobalt60 has 27 protons and 33 neutrons.

The mass of 27 protons = 27*1.00728 u = 27.19656 u

The mass of 33 neutrons = 33*1.00867 u = 33.28611 u

Total mass of protons + neutrons = 27.19656 u + 33.28611 u = 60.48267 u

Mass of a cobalt60 nucleus = 59.9338 amu

Mass defect = Δm = 0.54887 u

ΔE =c²*Δm

ΔE = (3.00 *10^8 m/s)² *(0.54887 amu))*(1.00 g/ 6.02 *10^23 amu)*(1kg/1000g)

Step 3: Calculate binding energy per nucleon

ΔE = 8.21 * 10^-11 J

8.21* 10^-11 J / 59.9338 = 1.368 *10^-12

The binding energy per nucleon = 1.368*10^-12  (option D)

Why neon is special from other chemical elements​
kupik [55]
Noble gases react very unwillingly, because the outermost shell of electrons orbiting the nucleus is full, giving these gases no incentive to swap electrons with other elements. As a result, there are very few compounds made with noble gases. Like its noble gas comrades, neon is odorless and colorless.

Fe2O3 + 2Al -&gt; Al2O3 + 2Fe
pashok25 [27]
Fe2O3 + 2Al ---> Al2O3 + 2Fe 
Mole ratio Fe2O3 : Al = 1:2 
No. of moles of Fe2O3 = Mass/RMM = 250 / (55.8 * 2 + 16 * 3) = 1.56641604 moles 
No. of moles of Al = 150/27 = 5.555555555 moles. 
Mole ratio 1 : 2. 1.56641604 * 2 = 3.13283208 moles of Al, but you have 5.555555555 moles of Al. So Al is in excess. All of it won't react. 

So take the Fe2O3 and Fe ratio to calculate the mass of iron metal that can be prepared. 
RMM of Fe2O3 / Mass of Fe2O3 = RMM of 2Fe / Mass of Fe 159.6 / 250 = 111.6 / x x = 174.8 g of Fe
