Chapter 18: Problem 30
Calculate (a) the mass defect and (b) the binding energy of \({ }_{3} \mathrm{Li}\) using the mass data: $$ \begin{array}{ll} { }_{3}^{7} \mathrm{Li}=7.0160 \mathrm{~g} & \mathrm{n}=1.0087 \mathrm{~g} \\ \mathrm{p}=1.0073 \mathrm{~g} & \mathrm{e}^{-}=0.00055 \mathrm{~g} \\ 1.0 \mathrm{~g}=9.0 \times 10^{13} \mathrm{~J} & \left(\text { from } E=m c^{2}\right) \end{array} $$
