In a nuclide, one a.m.u. of mass is dissipated into energy to bind its nucleons. The energy equivalent of this mass is

Step-by-step solution

aligned & 1 amu =1.492 10⁻³ erg & 1 MeV =10^6 1.602 10⁻¹² erg & 1 amu = 1.492 10⁻³ 1.602 10⁻¹² 10^6 &=931.5 MeV & 1 MeV =10^6 eV & 1 amu =931.5 MeV &=931.5 10^6 eV aligned
