The nuclei `._(6)C^(13)` and `._(7)N^(14)` can be described as

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that `._(6)^(14)C` has a mass of `14.003 074u` . Here, the mass differrence between the initial and final states is
`Delta m=14.003 242 u -14.003 74 u = 0.000 168 u`
This corresponds to an energy release of
`E = (0.000 168 u)(931 . 494 MeV//u)=0.156 MeV`.
