Explanation / Answer

Here,

16O8 = 15.99491 amu

15O8 = 15.00306 amu

15N7 = 15.00010 amu

neutron = 1.00893 amu

proton = 1.00814 amu

a) The reaction is

16O8 + E -> 15N7 + 1H1

Sum of the masses of reactants = 15.99491 amu
Sum of the masses of products =15.00010 amu + 1.00814 amu = 16.00824 a.m.u.
Therefore, ?M = Sum of the masses of products
