Expert Solution

mass of proton, mp = 1.00727 u

mass of neutron, mn = 1.00866 u

mass of 55Mn = 54.938043 u

mass of 9Be = 9.01218 u

mass of 14 N = 14.0067 u

mass of 7Li = 7.0160 u

binding energy per nucleon = binding energy/ A

binding energy, BE = mass defect x 931.5 MeV

(a )

Mass defect, Δm = ( mass of 25 protons + mass of 30 neutrons ) - mass of 55Mn

                       

                Δm = ( 25 x 1.00727 + 30 x 1.00866) - 54.938043 = 0.496493 u

Binding energy, BE = Δm x 931.5 = 0.496493 x 931.5 = 462.48 MeV

binding energy per nucleon = BE/ A = 462.48/55 = 8.41 MeV

binding energy per nucleon of 55 Mn = 8.41 MeV

( b)

Mass defect, Δm = ( mass of 4 protons + mass of 5 neutrons ) - mass of 9Be

                       

                Δm = ( 4 x 1.00727 + 5 x 1.00866) - 9.01218 = 0.0602u

Binding energy, BE = Δm x 931.5 = 0.0602 x 931.5 = 56.07 MeV

binding energy per nucleon = BE/ A = 56.07/9 = 6.23 MeV

binding energy per nucleon of 9Be = 6.23 MeV

( c )

Mass defect, Δm = ( mass of 7 protons + mass of 7 neutrons )- mass of 14N

                       

                Δm = ( 7 x 1.00727 + 7 x 1.00866) - 14.0067 =0.10481 u

Binding energy, BE = Δm x 931.5 = 0.10481 x 931.5 = 97.63 MeV

binding energy per nucleon = BE/ A = 97.63/14 = 6.97 MeV

binding energy per nucleon of 14N = 6.97 MeV

( d )

Mass defect, Δm = ( mass of 3 protons + mass of 4 neutrons )- mass of 7Li

                       

                Δm = ( 3 x 1.00727 + 4 x 1.00866) - 7.0160   =0.04135 u

Binding energy, BE = Δm x 931.5 = 0.04134 x 931.5 = 38.52 MeV

binding energy per nucleon = BE/ A = 38.52/7 = 5.50 MeV

binding energy per nucleon of 7Li = 5.50 MeV
