Answer:
Explanation:
This question is about nuclear reactions. (a) (i) Define the term unified atomic mass unit. [1]. 1/12th mass of an atom of carbon-12.
The nuclear reaction can be written as: Mg2512+He42→H11+XAZ. where. A is the mass number and; Z is the atomic number of the new nuclide, X.
The mass defect for an isotope was found to be 0.410 amu/atom. Calculate the binding energy in kJ/mol of atoms. (1 J = 1 kg m2/s2): (a) 3.69 x 1010
