The mass of the anti-neutrino is negligible. The mass of the neutral version of the daughter atom (that's the one that the scandium decays into) is 45.952627 u, while the mass of a scandium-46 atom is 45.955167 u. If you need it, the mass of an electron or positron is 0.0005486 u. Also, 1 u when converted to energy gives an energy of 931.5 MeV. Calculate the kinetic energy carried off by the decay products in this particular decay. MeV

Atomic and nuclear physics question
A sample of 23/892U is decaying at a rate of 4.00×10^2 decays/s . What is the mass of the sample?
What is the binding energy of 12C? The mass of an atom of 12C is 12 u (exactly), of an atom of 'H is 1.007825 u, and of a neutron is 1.0086649 u.
Because the neutron has no charge, its mass must be found in some way other than by using a mass spectrometer. When a neutron and a proton meet (assume both to be almost stationary), they combine and form a deuteron, emitting a gamma ray whose energy is 2.2233 MeV. The masses of the proton and the deuteron are 1.007276467u and 2.013553212u, respectively. Find the mass of the neutron from these data.
