Iodine-131is one of the most important isotopes used in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer. One atom has a mass of130.906114amu. Calculate the binding energy

(a) per nucleon in MeV;

(b) per atom in MeV;

(c) per mole in kJ.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The binding energies are

a)8.422MeV/nucleonb)1103.282MeV/atom³¦)1.064×1011kJ/mol

Step by step solution

01

To calculate the binding energy (a)

-1amu = 931.5MeV

-The atomic mass ofIis130.906114amu131

- Atomic number ofIis53, so it has53protons

- The number of nucleons is131, therefore,

the number of neutrons is (131-53)=78

- The mass of neutron ismn= 1.008665amu

- The mass of proton ismp= 1.007825amu

Now, let us calculate the change in mass

∆m =130.906114amu -53׳¾p+ 78×mu=130.906114amu -53×1.007825amu+ 78×1.008665amu=- 1.184481amu

(a)

The binding energy per nucleon, in MeVis

BE per nucleon =1.184481²¹³¾³Ü×931.5MeV1amu131nucleons=8.422MeV/ nucleon

02

To calculate the binding energy (b)

(b)

The binding energy per atom is

BE per atom =8.422MeV/ nucleon×131nucleons/atom=1103.282MeV/ atom

03

To calculate the binding energy (c)

(c)

The binding energy per mole in kJ

BE per mol in kJ=BE per atom×6.022×1023atoms /mol=1103.282MeV/ atom×6.022×1023atoms /mol=6.644×1026²Ñ±ð³Õ/³¾´Ç±ô×1.602×10- 13J1MeV=1.064×1014´³/³¾´Ç±ô×1kJ1000J=1.064×1011kJ/mol
