If the nuclear binding energy of an atom of Be-9 is 9.6979 x 10^-12 J/atom, calculate the atomic mass of the nuclide.

Expert Solution

Given nuclear binding energy of Be atom is E= 9.6979 x 10^-12 J

We know that binding energy , E = mc²

Where m = mass of Be

c = speed of light = 3.0x10⁸ m/s

Plug the values we get m = E / c²

= (9.6979 x 10^-12 J) / (3.0x10⁸ m/s)²

= 1.078x10^-28 kg

= (1.078x10^-28 kg)/( 1.66x10^-27 kg/mu) Since 1 amu = 1.66x10^-27 kg

= 0.0649 amu
