Binding Energy — Prelims Questions

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

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

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

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

Which of the following nuclei is expected to be most stable based on the general trend of the binding energy per nucleon curve?

If the binding energy per nucleon of a nucleus is $7.5\,\text{MeV}$ and its mass number is 100, what is the total binding energy of the nucleus?
