Question
The radionuclide $^{11}C$ decays according to
$^{11}_{6}\text{C}\rightarrow^{11}_{5}\text{B}+\text{e}^{+}+\text{v}:\ \text{T}_{1/2}=20.3 \text{ min}$
The maximum energy of the emitted positron is 0.960 MeV.
Given the mass values:
$\text{m}(^{11}_{6})=10=11.011434\text{ u and m}(^{11}_{6}\text{B})=11.009305\text {u}.$
calculate Q and compare it with the maximum energy of the positron emitted.
