Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 12 April, Shift 1

A common example of alpha decay is 92238U90234Th+24He+Q.^{238}_{92} U \rightarrow ^{234}_{90} Th + ^{4}_{2} He + Q. Given: 92238U=238.05060u,90234Th=234.04360u,24He=4.00260u,1u=931.5MeV/c2.^{238}_{92} U = 238.05060 \, u, \quad ^{234}_{90} Th = 234.04360 \, u, \quad ^{4}_{2} He = 4.00260 \, u, \quad 1u = 931.5 \, MeV/c^2. The energy released QQ during the alpha decay of 92238U^{238}_{92} U is _____ MeV.
