What is the energy released in this nuclear reaction?
What is the energy released in this nuclear reaction 19 9F + 4 2He rightarrow Ne + 1 1H? (The atomic mass of 19F is 18.998403 u. and that of 22Ne is 21.991385 u)Solution
Energy released = m*c^2
Where m = difference in the mass of products and reactants
C is the speed of light
m = (21.991385+1.00794)-(4.002602+18.998403)
m = 0.00168u
Energy released in 1u = 931MeV
Total energy released = 0.00168*931= 1.56407MeV
