Question: (a) Use the atomic masses m = 13.00574 u for 7 13 N and m = 13.003354 u for 6 13 C to calculate the

(a) Use the atomic masses m = 13.00574 u for 713N and m = 13.003354 u for 613C to calculate the Q value (in MeV) for the β decay

713N → 613C + β+ + ve


(b) Explain why you need to add two electron masses to the mass of 613C in the calculation of the Q value for this reaction.
