Solution

I\'ll do the first one, then you can correct your answersaccordingly.
.
For Pt 195, which has a mass of   194.964765
.
mass of 79 hydrogen atoms = 79 *1.007825 =79.618175
.
mass of   116 neutrons = 116*1.008665 = 117.00514
.
total mass of separate nucleons:   196.623315
.
mass difference = 196.623315 - 194.964765 = 1.65855
.
  convert to energy = 1.65855 *931.494 = 1544.93 MeV
.
divide by number of nucleons:   1544.93 / 195 =    7.923MeV per nucleon
