Problem:
Let us calculate Q value of the reaction 27Al (d, α) 25Mg
Answer:
Given that masses of
27Al = 26.981541 2H = 2.014102
4He = 4.002603 25Mg = 24.985839
Sum of masses of Reactants = 26.981541 + 2.014102
= 28.995643 amu
Sum of masses of Products = 24.985839 + 4.002603
= 28.988442 amu
... Q = (28.995643 - 28.988442) × 931.5
= 6.701 MeV
