Calculating Binding Energy Steps – Revisited! Step 1: Find number of protons and number of neutrons. Multiply protons by mass (1.007825 amu). Multiply neutrons by mass (1.008665 amu). Add these numbers together. Step 2: Subtract the mass given to you in the problem from the mass found in Step 1. This gives you mass defect in amu. Step 3: Convert mass in amu to mass in kg. Multiply your number from step 2 by 1.66054 x 10-27 kg/amu to get mass in kg. Step 4: Calculate binding energy (E=mc2). Plug your mass in kg from step 3 for m. C is the speed of light and always 3.00 x 108 m/s. ***Unit for energy will be J (Joules). Step 5: Take the energy (J) from step 4 and divide it by the number of protons + neutrons. This will get you the energy per nucleon in J still! Calculating Binding Energy Steps – Revisited! Step 1: Find number of protons and number of neutrons. Multiply protons by mass (1.007825 amu).
