Answer

$$26.7 \mathrm{\ MeV} $$

Work Step by Step

In Fig. $43-10,$ $Q_{1}=0.42 \mathrm{MeV}$, $Q_{2}=1.02 \mathrm{MeV}$, $Q_{3}=5.49 \mathrm{MeV}$ and $Q_{4}=$ $12.86 \mathrm{MeV}$. For the overall proton-proton cycle: $$ \begin{aligned} Q &=2 Q_{1}+2 Q_{2}+2 Q_{3}+Q_{4} \\ &=2(0.42 \mathrm{MeV}+1.02 \mathrm{MeV}+5.49 \mathrm{MeV})+12.86 \mathrm{MeV}=26.7 \mathrm{MeV} \end{aligned} $$
