Calculate the amount of energy released during the a decay of
Atomic mass of
= 238.05079 u
Atomic mass of
= 234.04363 u
Atomic mass of
= 4.00260 u
1u = 931.5 Me V/c2
Is this decay spontaneous? Give reason.

The amount of energy released during a decay,
Q =
Q = [238.05079 - 234.04363 - 4.00260] x 931.5 MeV
Q = 0.00456 x 931.5 = 4.25 MeV
No net energy is required for this reaction because energy is already produced by the conversion of lost mass energy. Because of this, the reaction is spontaneous.
