Question

When ${}_{3}^{6}Li$ is bombarded with 4 MeV deutrons, one reaction that is observed is the formation of two a-particles, each with 13.2 MeV of energy. The Q-value for this reaction is-

Answer 1

Solution

${ } _ { 3 } ^ { 6 } \mathrm { Li } + { } _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } \mathrm { H }$ ® ${ } _ { 2 } ^ { 4 } \mathrm { He } + { } _ { 2 } ^ { 4 } \mathrm { He }$

Q = (K– K_d

= (13.2 + 13.2) MeV – 4MeV= 22.4 MeV
