23. We first “separate” all the nucleons in one copper nucleus (which amounts to simply calculating the

nuclear binding energy) and then figure the number of nuclei in the penny (so that we can multiply the
two numbers and obtain the result). To begin, we note that (using Eq. 43-1 with Appendix F and/or
G) the copper-63 nucleus has 29 protons and 34 neutrons. We use the more accurate values given in
Sample Problem 43-3:

E

be

= (29(1.007825 u) + 34(1.008665 u)

62.92960 u) (931.5 MeV/u) = 551.4 MeV .

To figure the number of nuclei (or, equivalently, the number of atoms), we adapt Eq. 43-20:

N

Cu

=



3.0 g

62.92960 g/mol

 

6.02

× 10

23

atoms/mol



2.9 × 10

22

atoms .

Therefore, the total energy needed is

= 1.6

25
