Question: (a) Use the atomic masses m = 14.00324 u for 6 14 C and m = 14.00307 u for 7 14 N to calculate the

(a) Use the atomic masses m = 14.00324 u for 614C and m = 14.00307 u for714N to calculate the Q value (in MeV) for the β decay

614C → 714N + β  + ve


(b) Explain why you do not need to add the mass of the β to that of atomic 714N for this calculation.
