Question

In a nuclear fission process, a high mass nuclide (A≈236) with binding energy 7.6 MeV/Nucleon dissociated into two middle mass nuclides (A≈118), having binding energy of 8.6 MeV/Nucleon. The energy released in the process would be _______ MeV.

MARKS Content Team · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: 236. The formula to calculate the energy released in the given process can be written as Q=BE_Product-BE_Reactant ...1 From equation (1), it follows that Q = 2(118)(8.6)-236(7.6) MeV = 236 MeV

In a nuclear fission process, a high mass nuclide $(A \approx 236)$ with binding energy $7.6 MeV /$ Nucleon dissociated into two middle mass nuclides $(A \approx 118)$ , having binding energy of $8.6 MeV /$ Nucleon. The energy released in the process would be _______ $MeV$ .
