The mass of a proton is 1.0089\(\mu\) and that of a neutron is 1.0089\(\mu\). Determine the energy evolved in stabilizing the nucleus of nitrogen of mass number 14 with 7 protons and 7 neutrons. [speed of light = 3.0 x 108ms-1; 1\(\mu\) = 1.67 x 10-27kg]
- 1.710 x 10-8J
- 3.131 x 10-8J
- 1.476 x 10-8J
-
2.332 x 10-9J
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
E = DMC2 = 14,1141 x 1.67 x 10-27 x 9 x 1016= 2.332 x 10-9J
