Expert Answer
β- decay of is given as:
Where,
Q = kinetic energy of the daughter nucleus
Ignoring the rest mass of the anti-neutrino and the mass of the electron ,
the mass defect involved in the nuclear reaction is given as:
Δm = m -m
= 22.994466 - 22.989770
= 0.004696 u = 0.004696 x 931.5 MeV/c2 = 4.374 MeV/c2
Q = Δ mc2 = 4.374 MeV
Hence, when the energy carried by is zero, the maximum kinetic energy of β particle is 4.374 MeV.
