The inelastic scattering threshold energies for the first two levels in \({ }^{232} \mathrm{Th}\) are 50 and \(160 \mathrm{keV}\), respectively. Calculate the reaction \(Q\)-values for these levels.

\(\Delta=M-A\) is the "mass excess," where \(M\) is the mass of a nuclide and \(A\) its mass number. These data are given in the Nuclear Wallet cards, and elsewhere. The data given below may be useful in solving some of the problems.
