The Binding energy per nucleon of Li and He are MeV and MeV, respectively. In the nuclear reaction LiHHeHe the value of energy Q released is
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the energy released in the given nuclear reaction.The reaction is:LiHHeHeFirst, we calculate the total binding energy of the reactants and products.Binding energy per nucleon of Li is MeV.Number of nucleons in Li is Total binding energy of Li MeV.Binding energy per nucleon of H is MeV (since it's a single proton).Total binding energy of H MeV.Total binding energy of reactants: MeV.Binding energy per nucleon of He is MeV.Number of nucleons in each He is Total binding energy of one He MeV.Since there are two He nuclei produced, the total binding energy of products is: MeV.Total binding energy of products: MeV.The energy released is the difference between the total binding energy of the products and the reactants: MeV.Therefore, the value of energy released is approximately MeV.This corresponds to Option 4.
