Problem 6.264

Find the energy of the reaction $\mathrm{Li}^{7}+p \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{He}^{4}$ if the binding energies per nucleon in $\mathrm{Li}^{7}$ and $\mathrm{He}^{4}$ nuclei are known to be equal to 5.60 and $7.06 \mathrm{MeV}$ respectively

Q=8 \varepsilon_{\alpha}-7 \varepsilon_{\mathrm{Li}}=17.3 \mathrm{MeV}
