Questions  

The binding energy per nucleon of  L 37iand H 24e Nuclei are 5.60 MeV  and 7.06 MeV respectively. In the nuclear reaction

Li 37+H 11He 24+He 24+Q

the value of energy Q released is 

a
19.6 MeV
b
-2.4 MeV
c
8.4 MeV
d
17.3 MeV

detailed solution

Correct option is B

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
