Question
How much energy is released in the following reaction?
$\text{ }^7\text{Li + p}\rightarrow\alpha+\alpha.$
Atomic mass of $^7Li = 7.0160u$ and that of $^4He = 4.0026u.$

Answer

$\text{Li}^7+\text{p}\rightarrow\text{l}+\alpha+\text{E};\text{Li}^7=7.016\text{u}$
$\alpha=\text{ }^4\text{He}=4.0026\text{u};\text{p}=1.007276\text{u}$
$\text{E}=\text{Li}^7+\text{P}-2\alpha=(7.016+1.007276)\text{u}\\-(2\times4.0026)\text{u}=0.018076\text{u}.$
$\Rightarrow0.018076\times931=16.828=16.83\text{MeV}.$
