The nuclear binding energy for Ar (39.962384 amu) is : (given mass of proton and neuron are 1.007825 amu and 1.008665amu respectively)A. 343.62 MeVB. 0.369096 MeVC. 931 MeVD. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`._(18)Ar^(40)`
Total no. of protons = 18
Total no. of neutrons = 22
Mass defect `= [m xx p + m xx n] = 39.962384`
`= [1.007825 xx 18 + 1.008665 xx 22] - 39.962384`
`=[18.14085 + 22.19063] - 39.962384 = 0.369`
Binding energy = mass defect `xx 931`
`= 0.369 xx 931 = 343.62 MeV`
