"Ca undergoes electron capture decay to 4"K. Write out the balanced equation and draw a decay diagram. If the total energy of decay is 0.4213 MeV and the atomic mass of 4'Ca is 40.962278 u, calculate the atomic mass of 4'K. The balanced equation is given as follows. Remember that the electron in elec- tron capture decay equations is an orbital electron: 20 Ca + -je → i9K
