Question
In alpha decay, a helium atom is emitted containing 2 protons and 2 neutrons. During the formation of its nucleus, some of its mass was lost as energy. How much was this lost energy in terms of Joules, if the mass defect was 0.0304 amu? How about in MeV? * O 4.5432x10^-12 J and 28.3598 MeV O 4.4532x10^-12 J and 28.3598 MeV O 4.5432x10^-12 J and 27.3598 MeV O 4.4532x10^-12 J and 27.3985 MeV
