Calculate the disintegration energy of the reactions

$\left(a\right){\mathit{\pi }}^{\mathbf{+}}\mathbf{+}\mathit{p}\mathbf{\to }\mathbf{\sum }^{\mathbf{+}}\mathbf{+}{\mathit{K}}^{\mathbf{+}}\mathbf{\text{and}}\left(b\right){\mathit{K}}^{\mathbf{-}}\mathbf{+}\mathit{p}\mathbf{\to }{\mathit{\Lambda }}^{\mathbf{0}}\mathbf{+}{\mathit{\pi }}^{\mathbf{0}}$

Disintegration energy is lost by the nucleus undergoing radioactive decay. During radioactive decay, an element loses mass and energy by emitting radiation and ionizing particles. During this process of radioactive decay. an atom is transformed into another element.

The chemical species undergoing radioactive decay is called the parent nuclide, and the new chemical species is called the daughter nuclide.

.$Q=-\Delta m.c^2$

(1) Explanation

$$\begin{gathered} m_{{\pi }^{+}}\to 139.6\mathrm{MeV} \\ {m}_p\to 938.3\mathrm{MeV} \\ {m}_{\sum ^{+}}\to 1189.4\mathrm{MeV} \\ {m}_{K^{+}}\to 493.7\mathrm{MeV} \end{gathered}$$

(2) Solution

$Q=-\Delta m.c^2$ ….. (1)

Put the value in equation (1)

$\begin{array}{rcl}Q& =& \left(m_{\sum ^{+}}+m_{K^{+}}-m_{{\pi }^{+}}-m_p\right)c^2\\ & =& \left(1189.4+493.7-139.6-938.3\right)\mathrm{MeV}\\ & =& \left(1683.1-1077.9\right)\mathrm{MeV}\\ & =& 605.2\mathrm{Mev}\end{array}$

Hence the value ${\pi }^{+}+p\to \sum ^{+}+K^{+}$is $605.2\mathrm{Mev}$.

(1) Explanation

$$\begin{gathered} m_{K^{-}}\to 493.7\mathrm{MeV} \\ {m}_p\to 938.3\mathrm{MeV} \\ {m}_{{\Lambda }^0}\to 1115.6\mathrm{Mev} \\ {m}_{{\pi }^0}\to 135.0 \end{gathered}$$

(2) Solution.

$\begin{array}{rcl}Q& =& -\Delta m.c^2\\ Q& =& \left(m_{{\Lambda }^0}+m_{{\pi }^0}-m_{K^{-}}-m_p\right)c^2\\ & =& \left(1115.6+135.0-493.7-938.3\right)\mathrm{MeV}\\ & =& \left(1250.6-1432\right)\mathrm{MeV}\\ & =& -181.4\mathrm{Mev}\end{array}$

Hence, the value $K^{-}+p\to {\Lambda }^0+{\pi }^0$is $-181.4\mathrm{Mev}$.
