The correct answer is (C) 2.8807 x 10^-10

The explanation:

According to this formula:

E = MC^2

when E is the nuclear binding energy

and M is the mass defect = 3.2008 x 10^-27 Kg

and C is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s^2

so, by substitution:

∴ E = 3.2008 x 10^-27 * (3 x 10^8 )^2

= 2.8807 x 10^-10

The nuclear binding energy for uranium-238 in joules is 2.8807 x 10⁻¹².

Nuclear binding is the total separation of the nucleus into protons, and electrons.

By the formula

$E = MC^2$

where E is the nuclear binding energy

M is the mass defect = $3.2008 \times 10^{-27} Kg$

C is the speed of light = $3 \times 10^8 m/s^2$

Putting the values in the equation

$3.2008 \times 10^{-27} \times (3 \times 10^8 )^2 = 2.8807 \times 10^{-12}$

Thus, the correct option is A. 2.8807 x 10⁻¹².
