The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the energy released in the nuclear reaction given by: \[ ^{238}_{92}A \rightarrow ^{234}_{90}B + ^{4}_{2}D + Q \] ### Step 1: Calculate the mass defect (Δm) We need to find the mass defect (Δm) in the reaction. The mass defect is the difference between the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products. Given: - Mass of \(^{238}_{92}A = 238.05079 \times 931.5 \, \text{MeV/c}^2\) - Mass of \(^{234}_{90}B = 234.04363 \times 931.5 \, \text{MeV/c}^2\) - Mass of \(^{4}_{2}D = 4.00260 \times 931.5 \, \text{MeV/c}^2\) Now, we can calculate the mass defect: \[ \Delta m = \text{Mass of reactants} - \text{Mass of products} \] \[ \Delta m = 238.05079 - (234.04363 + 4.00260) \] Calculating the mass of the products: \[ \text{Mass of products} = 234.04363 + 4.00260 = 238.04623 \] Now substituting back into the equation for Δm: \[ \Delta m = 238.05079 - 238.04623 = 0.00456 \, \text{u} \] ### Step 2: Convert mass defect to energy The energy released (E) can be calculated using Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula: \[ E = \Delta m \times c^2 \] In terms of MeV, we use the conversion factor: \[ E = \Delta m \times 931.5 \, \text{MeV/u} \] Substituting the value of Δm: \[ E = 0.00456 \, \text{u} \times 931.5 \, \text{MeV/u} \] Calculating the energy: \[ E \approx 4.25 \, \text{MeV} \] ### Conclusion The approximate amount of energy released in the reaction is: \[ \boxed{4.25 \, \text{MeV}} \]
