Find the energy required to split `._(8)^(16)O` nucleus into four `alpha` - particles. The mass of an `alpha`- particle is 4.002603u and that of oxygen is 15.994915u.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Deltam=m(4He_2^4)-m(O_8^16)`
=4 x 4.002603 - 15.994915
=0.015497 amu
Hence `BE=Deltam xx 93.1` MeV= 14.435 MeV
