Mass defect and Binding energy Flashcards
what is the binding energy
energy released is all the protons, neutrons and electrons were brought together
what is the mass defect
the mass of the atom minus the expected mass from number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
what equation do we use for finding how much energy is equivalent to the mass defect
E = mc^2
how much energy is it to brake a hydrogen bond
15kJ mol-1
how much energy is it to burn one mole of butane
2.86x10^3 kJ mol-1
how to I find the binding energy when I have the energy of 1 atom
multiply the energy by avogardos number which will give us the binding energy per mole.
what is avogadros number
6.022x10^23
what is binding energy measured in
kJ mol-1
what is the mass defect measured in
kg
