Q1medium

The mass of a 37Li^7_3\text{Li} nucleus is 7.01600,amu7.01600,\text{amu}. The masses of proton and neutron are 1.007276,amu1.007276,\text{amu} and 1.008665,amu1.008665,\text{amu} respectively. Calculate the binding energy per nucleon for 37Li^7_3\text{Li}. (Given 1,amu=931.5,MeV/c21,\text{amu} = 931.5,\text{MeV}/c^2)

Q2medium

Which of the following statements about the binding energy curve is INCORRECT?

Q3easy

If the total binding energy of a nucleus is 28,MeV28,\text{MeV} and its mass number is 4, what is the approximate mass defect in atomic mass units (amu)? (Given 1,amu=931.5,MeV/c21,\text{amu} = 931.5,\text{MeV}/c^2)

Q4medium

Consider the nuclear reaction: 11H+13H24He+Q^1_1\text{H} + ^3_1\text{H} \rightarrow ^4_2\text{He} + Q. Given the atomic masses: M(11H)=1.007825,amuM(^1_1\text{H}) = 1.007825,\text{amu}, M(13H)=3.016049,amuM(^3_1\text{H}) = 3.016049,\text{amu}, M(24He)=4.002603,amuM(^4_2\text{He}) = 4.002603,\text{amu}. Calculate the energy released (QQ) in MeV. (Given 1,amu=931.5,MeV/c21,\text{amu} = 931.5,\text{MeV}/c^2)
