The binding energy per nucleon of  L 37iand H 24e Nuclei are 5.60 MeV  and 7.06 MeV respectively. In the nuclear reactionLi 37+H 11→He 24+He 24+Qthe value of energy Q released is

Binding energy of Li 37 nucleus =7×5.60MeV=39.2MeV Binding energy of  Henucleus  24=4×7.06MeV=28.24MeVthe reaction isLi 37+H 11→2He 24+Q∴Q=2BE of He 24-BE of Li 37=2×28.24MeV-39.2MeV=56.48MeV-39.2MeV=17.28MeV≈17.3MeV
