The binding energies of the nuclei \(A\) and \(B\) are \(E_a\) and \(E_b\) respectively. If three atoms of the element \(B\) fuse to give one atom of element \(A\) and an energy \(Q\) is released, then \(E_a, E_b\) and \(Q\) are related as:
1. \(E_a-3E_b= Q\)
2. \(3E_b-E_a= Q\)
3. \(E_a+ 3E_b=Q\)
4. \(E_b+ 3E_a=Q\)

The mass of a \({}_{3}^{7}\mathrm{Li}\) nucleus is \(0.042\) u less than the sum of the masses of all its nucleons. The binding energy per nucleon of the \({}_{3}^{7}\mathrm{Li}\) nucleus is near:
1. \(4.6\) MeV
2. \(5.6\) MeV
3. \(3.9\) MeV
4. \(23\) MeV

The energy equivalent of \(0.5~\text g\) of a substance is:
1. \(4.5\times10^{13}~\text J\) 
2. \(1.5\times10^{13}~\text J\) 
3. \(0.5\times10^{13}~\text J\) 
4. \(4.5\times10^{16}~\text J\) 

Two stable isotopes of lithium \(^{6}_{3}\mathrm{Li}\) and \(^{7}_{3}\mathrm{Li}\) have respective abundances of \(7.5\%\) and \(92.5\%\). These isotopes have masses \(6.01512~\text{u}\) and \(7.01600~\text{u}\), respectively. The atomic mass of lithium is:
1. \(6.940934~\text{u}\)
2. \(6.897643~\text{u}\)
3. \(7.863052~\text{u}\)
4. \(7.167077~\text{u}\)
