Find the minimum kinetic energy (in MeV) in the lab system needed by an alpha particle to cause
the reaction:
7π
14 + πΌ β 8π
17 + 1π»
1
Given that: m(
14N) = 14.00307 u; m(Ξ±) 4.003879 u; m(
1H) = 1.00783 u; m(
17O) = 17.0013 u;
1 π’ = 931.5 πππ/π
2
So, -2.0316015 MeV is needed by an alpha particle to cause the reaction.
