Energy of the electron emitted from beta decay?
Calculate energy emitted from Be-11
Using equation Q=(Mp-Md)c^2
where the parent mass (Mp) is the mass of Be-11
the daughter mass (Md) is the mass of B-11
I got around 11 MeV, is this correct?

mass of Be-11 11.0217
mass of B-11 11.0093054(4)
Q=0.0123946 amu
1 amu = 931.4941 MeV/c2 (google "amu to mev" )
Q=0.0123946 amu * c^2 * 931.4941 MeV/c^2 / amu
Q = 11.55 MeV
a bout 11 dependent on your source for mass of the atoms.
