13.24 The neutron separation energy is defined as the energy required to remove a neutron from the nucleus. Obtain the neutron separation energies of the nuclei C a 20 41  and  from the following data:

m( C a ) 20 40  = 39.962591 u

m( C a ) 20 41 = 40.962278 u

m A l ) 13 26 = 25.986895 u

m( A l ) 13 27 = 26.981541 u

    13.24 If a neutron n 0 1 )  is removed from C a 20 41 , the corresponding reaction can be written as:

    C a 20 41 C a 20 40 + n 0 1

    The separation energies are

    For C a 20 41  : Separation energy = 8.363007 MeV

    For A l 13 27  : Separation energy = 13.059 MeV

    It is given that

    m( C a ) 20 40  = 39.962591 u

    m( C a ) 20 41 = 40.962278 u

    m( n 0 1 ) = 1.008665 u

     

    The mass defect of the reaction is given as:

    Δm = m C a ) 20 40 + (  m( n 0 1 ) - m( C a ) 20 41

    = 39.962591 + 1.008665 - 40.962278

    = 8.978 × 10 3 u

    =8.363007 MeV

     

    For A l 13 27 , the neutron removal reaction can be written as

    A l 13 27 A l 13 26 + n 0 1

    It is given that

    m( A l ) 13 26 = 25.986895 u

    m( A l ) 13 27  = 26.981541 u

    m( n 0 1 ) = 1.008665 u

    The mass defect of the reaction is given as:

    Δm = m( A l ) 13 26 +  m(

The reaction is X²? → Y¹²? + Z¹²?
Binding energies per nucleon are: X=7.6 MeV, Y=8.5 MeV, Z=8.5 MeV.
Gain in binding energy (Q) = (Binding energy of products) - (Binding energy of reactants)
Q = (120 × 8.5 + 120 × 8.5) - (240 × 7.6) MeV
Q = (2 × 120 × 8.5) - (240 × 7.6) MeV = 2040 - 1824 = 216 MeV.
