Answer

a. The energy release is 0.8356 MeV. b. 0.700 MeV.

Work Step by Step

Recall that 1u is equivalent to an energy of 931.5 MeV. a. Example 43.7 gives the mass defect of 0.000897u. The energy release is 0.8356 MeV. b. Assume the neutrino mass is negligible. The neutrino energy is 0.8356 MeV-0.122MeV-0.014MeV=0.700 MeV.
