Nuclear Physics Question 3
Question 3 - 2024 (27 Jan Shift 1)
In a nuclear fission process, a high mass nuclide $(A \approx 236)$ with binding energy $7.6 MeV /$ Nucleon dissociated into middle mass nuclides $(A \approx 118)$, having binding energy of $8.6 MeV /$ Nucleon. The energy released in the process would be $MeV$.
Show Answer
Answer: (236)
Solution:
$Q=BE _{\text {Product }}-BE _{\text {Rectant }}$
$=2(118)(8.6)-236(7.6)$
$=236 \times 1=236 MeV$
