To solve this question, let us first calculate how much all the nucleons will weigh when they are apart, that is: 
<span>Mass of 25 protons = 25(1.0073) = 25.1825 amu </span>

Mass of neutrons = (55-25)(1.0087) = 30.261 amu 

So, total mass of nucleons = 30.261+25.1825 = 55.4435 amu 

<span>Now we subtract the mass of nucleons and mass of the Mn nucleus:
55.4435 - 54.938 = 0.5055 amu 

This difference in mass is what we call as the mass defect of a nucleus. Now we calculate the binding energy using the formula:</span>

<span> E=mc^2 </span>

<span>But first convert mass defect in units of SI (kg):
Δm = 0.5055 amu = (0.5055) / (6.022x10^26) 
<span>Δm = 8.3942x10^-28 kg</span>

Now applying the formula, 
E=Δm c^2 
E=(8.3942x10^-28)(3x10^8)^2 
E=7.55x10^-11 J</span>

 

Convert energy from Joules to mev then divide by total number of nucleons (55):

E = 7.55x10^-11 J * (6.242x10^12 mev / 1 J) / 55 nucleons

<span>E = 8.57 mev / nucleon</span>

Balance <br> Na2O+H2O → NaOH
AleksAgata [21]
Answer:
Na2O+H2O=2NaOH
Step by step exp.
Given:
Equation Na2O+H2O=NaOH
To find: Balance the equation
Solution:
Taking LHS of the equation
LHS=Na2O+H2O
There is 2 sodium, 2 oxygen,& 2 hydrogen
To balance the equation we have equal number of atom so we multply 2 to the RHS=2NaOH
There fore the equation form is
Na2O+H2O=2NaOH
