What energy is required to extract a neutron from a carbon nucleus with mass number 13?

Answer»


Solution :Let the kinetic ENERGY of the extracted neutron be ZERO. Then the work needed to EXTRACT a neutron will be equal to the difference between the total energy of the REACTION products and the rest energy of the original nucleus:
`Deltaepsi=(12.00000+1.00867-13.00335)xx931.5=4.96MeV`
