(choose chapter or problem)

Iridium-192 can be used in brachytherapy. It is produced by a nuclear transmutation. (a) Identify the target nucleus X, and write the balanced nuclear equation for the reaction represented by \({ }^{191} \mathrm{X}(\mathrm{n}, \gamma)^{192} \operatorname{Ir}\). (b) The mass of an \({ }^{125} \mathrm{I}\) nucleus is 124.904624 amu. Calculate the nuclear binding energy and the nuclear binding energy per nucleon.
