Question 30

A common example of alpha decay is
$$^{238}_{92}$$U $$\to ^{234}_{90}$$Th $$+ _2$$He$$^4 + Q$$
Given:
$$^{238}_{92}$$U $$= 238.05060$$ u
$$^{234}_{90}$$Th $$= 234.04360$$ u
$$^4_2$$He $$= 4.00260$$ u and $$1$$u $$= 931.5$$ $$\frac{\text{MeV}}{c^2}$$
The energy released $$(Q)$$ during the alpha decay of $$^{238}_{92}$$U is _____ MeV.
