Nuclear Physics Question 2

Question 2 - 24 January - Shift 2

The energy released per fission of nucleus of ${ }^{240} X$ is $200 MeV$. The energy released if all the atoms in $120 g$ of pure ${ }^{240} X$ undergo fission is thongo $\times 10^{25}$ $MeV$.

(Given $N_A=6 \times 10^{23}$ )

Show Answer

Answer: (6)

Solution:

Formula: Binding energy

No. of mole $=\frac{120}{240}=\frac{1}{2}$

No. of molecules $=\frac{1}{2} \times N_A^{al}$

Energy released $=\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 10^{23} \times 200$

$=6 \times 10^{25} MeV$
