Question
Consider the nuclear reaction 2H + 14N --->X+ 10B where X is a nuclide.
1 7 5
Part B: Calculate the reaction energy Q (in MeV).
Part C: If the 2H nucleus is incident on a stationary 14N nucleus, what minimum kinetic energy must it have for the
1 7
for the reaction to occur?
Explanation / Answer
A = 14+2-10 = 6
Z = 1+7-5 = 3
E = mc^2 = 1.67*10^-27*9*10^16*6*10^23 = 9.1*10^13 J
KE = 9.1*10^13J
