-Estimate the total binding energy for copper?

in MeV

-Estimate the energy, in joules, needed to break a 3.0g copper penny into its constituent nucleons?

E= in Joulea

Please help me I am confused...thanks

I suggest you use the curve of binding energy. You can find it at

The binding energy of copper, relative to its separated nucleons, is about 8.7 MeV per nucleon. A copper atom has 63 nucleons.
