How much energy is required to remove a proton from 157n? the masses of the atoms 157n, 146c and 11h are 15.000109 u, 14.003242 u and 1.007825 u, respectively. how much energy is required to remove a neutron? the mass of a neutron is 1.008665 u.

10.207377 MeV

10.833345 MeV

Explanation:

c = Speed of light =

The reaction to remove a proton is as follows

From the mass energy equivalence
