Find the Q-value and the kinetic energy ...

Find the Q-value and the kinetic energy of the emitted `alpha`-particle in the `alpha`-decya of (a) `""_(88)^(226)Ra` and (b) `""_(86)^(220)Rn`.
Given `m (""_(88)^(226)Ra) = 226.02540 u, " " m(""_(86)^(222)Rn) = 222.01750 u`.
`m(""_(86)^(220)Rn) = 220.01137 u, " " m (""_(84)^(216)Po) = 216.00189u`.
