The total binding energy of 58Ni is 508 MeV. What is its binding energy per nucleon?
Advertisements
Solution
Given: B.E. of 58Ni = 508 MeV, A = 58
To find: Binding energy per nucleon `(bar "B")`
Formula: `bar"B" = "B.E."/"A"`
Calculation: `bar"B" =508/58` = 8.75862069 ≈ 8.76 MeV/nucleon
Binding energy per nucleon of 58Ni is 8.76 MeV/nucleon.
