The atomic mass of

{ }_6 \mathrm{C}^{12}

12.000000 \mathrm{~u}

and that of

{ }_6 \mathrm{C}^{13}

13.003354 \mathrm{~u}.

The required energy to remove a neutron from

{ }_6 \mathrm{C}^{13},

if mass of neutron is

1.008665 \mathrm{~u},

will be:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

4.95 \mathrm{~MeV}

Option D (

4.95 \mathrm{~MeV}

) is correct because it represents the energy equivalent of the mass difference between the reactants and products in the neutron removal process.
