Question

Determine the binding energy of an F-19 nucleus. The F-19 nucleus has a mass of 18.99840325 amu. A proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu, a neutron has a mass of 1.008665 amu, and 1 amu is equivalent to 931 MeV of energy. Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

Energy = 1.38*10^13 J/mol

Explanation:

Total number of proton in F-19 = 9

Total number of neutron in F-19 = 10

Expected Mass of F-19  

= 9*1.007 + 10*1.008 = 19.152 u

Actual  mass of F-19 = 18.998 u

Energy of one particle of F-19 = 931.5*Δm = 931.5*(19.152-18.998)

= 143.234 MeV

Energy of one mole of F-19 = 143.234*10^6*1.6*10^-19*6.022*10^23  

= 1.38*10^13 J/mol
