Q9

The mass difference between the pair of mirror nuclei _6^11C and _5^11B is given to be Δ MeV/c2. According to the semi-empirical mass formula, the mass difference between the pair of mirror nuclei _9^17F and _8^17O will approximately be (rest mass of proton mp = 938.27 MeV/c2 and rest mass of neutron mn = 939.57 MeV/c2)
