Question

Which physical quantity in a nuclear reaction is considered equivalent to the Q-value of the reaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

If K > Q, a reaction will proceed forward, converting reactants into products. If K < Q, the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction, converting products into reactants. If Q = K then the system is already at equilibrium.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

K

Explanation:

Q value:

 During the reaction the amount of energy release or absorbed is known as Q value .Q value given as

Q= 931 ( m - m') MeV

m= Mass of reactant

m'=Mass of product

Mass energy equivalent

Q = Kf - Ki

Where K is kinetic energy of the mass.

So in the reaction Q is equivalent to the K.
