An iron nail has a mass of 15.0 g. What is the energy (in Joules) that would be required to break all the iron nuclei into their constituent protons and neutrons? Ignore the energy that binds the electrons to the nucleus and the energy that binds one atom to another in the structure of the metal. For simplicity, assume that all the iron nuclei are 56 Fe 26 (atomic mass = 55.934 939 u).
