Problem 6.266

\(6.266 .\) Making use of the tables of atomic masses, determine the energies of the following reactions: (a) \(\mathrm{Li}^{7}(p, n) \mathrm{Be}^{7}\) (b) \(\operatorname{Be}^{9}(n, \gamma) \mathrm{Be}^{10}\) (c) \(L i^{7}(\alpha, n) B^{10}\); (d) \(\mathrm{O}^{16}(d, \alpha) \mathrm{N}^{14}\)

Reveal Answer
\(\begin{array}{ll}6.266 . & \text { (a) }-1.65 \mathrm{MeV}\end{array}\) (b) \(6.82 \mathrm{MeV}\) (c) \(-2.79 \mathrm{MeV}\) (d) \(3.11 \mathrm{MeV}\).
