The mass of deuteron (1 H2) nucleus is 2.014103u. If the masses of proton and neutron are 1.007275u and 1.007275u respectively, calculate the binding energy per nucleon.

Question

The mass of deuteron (1 H2) nucleus is 2.014103u. If the masses of proton and neutron are 1.007275u and 1.007275u respectively, calculate the binding energy per nucleon. (A) 2.2MeV (B) 1.1MeV (C) 0.5MeV (D) 0.25MeV

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Here, mp=1.007275m:mn=1.008667u and mass of 1H2 nucleus, mN(H H2)=2.0159403u. The deuteron nucleus contains one proton and one neutron. Therefore, mass of nucleons constituting deuteron, mp+mn=1.007275+ 1.008665=2.015940u. Therefore, mass defect, Δ m=(mp + mn)-mN( 1H2) =2.01540-2.013553=0.002387u Packing fraction, (Δ m/A)=(0 . 002387/2)=0.0011935u.
