Answer:

E = 1.4787x10^-11 J

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the energy of nuclear union we must use the Einstein equation for the mass-energy equivalence, E = m*c^2, having the following data:

E = nuclear binding energy

m = mass = 1,643x10^-28 kg

c = speed of light in a vacuum = 3×10^8 m*s-1

Replacing values ​​we have:

E = 1,643x10^-28 kg * (3x10^8 ms^-1)^2 = 1.4787x10^-11 J
