Chapter , Problem 43

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Use the values and for the atomic masses of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) and \({ }^{14} \mathrm{N}\) respectively, to calculate the Q value (in MeV) for the \(\beta \text {-decay }\) reaction \({ }_{6}^{14} \mathrm{C} \rightarrow{ }_{7}^{14} \mathrm{N}+\mathrm{e}^{-}+\bar{v}_{\mathrm{e}}\) (b) Explain why you should not add the mass of the electron to that of atomic \({ }^{14} \mathrm{N}\) for the calculation in Part (a)
