6. Calculate the total binding energy of 40

20Ca.

Answer in units of MeV.

1. B = 79.12 MeV

2. B = -4.39 MeV/nucleon

3. B = 2.40 MeV/nucleon

4. B = 7.48 MeV/nucleon

5. B = -18.72 MeV

6. B = 225.23 MeV            

Explanation:

The binding energy can be calculated using the followng equation:

Where:

Z: is the number of protons

: is the proton's mass = 1.00730 u

N: is the number of neutrons

: is the neutron's mass = 1.00869 u

M: is the mass of the nucleus

1. The total binding energy of is:

2. The average binding energy per nucleon of is:

Where: A = Z + N

3. The average binding energy per nucleon of is:
