The radionuclide 11C decays according to 11C 11B + e+ + v, T1/2 = 20.3 min.
Question:
(a) Show that the disintegration energy Q for this process is given by Q = (mC - mB - 2me) c2, where mC and mB are the atomic masses of 11C and 11B, respectively, and me is the mass of a positron.
(b) Given the mass values mC = 11.011 434 u, mB = 11.009 305 u, and me = 0.000 548 6 u, calculate Q and compare it with the maximum energy of the emitted positron given above.
