Question

- - - Pane (16) How much energy is released in the following process? Justify your answer. (The masses of the process constituents are given in atomic mass units u, and 1 u = 931.494 MeV/c2) 235 140 0 U + nº su Xe + 94 Sr + 2n. Xe: 139.921620 u 38 Sr: 93.915367 u U: 235.043924 u 1.008665 u A) 185 MeV B) 202 MeV C) 32.6 MeV D) 65.7 MeV E) 98.6 MeV

Answer 1

Total mans of the reactanbro, me mass of 235 + mans of n. mia (235.043924 +1008665) - 236.0575890. Total mass of the productos, me mass of "xe + mansofsh + 24 mens of m = 139.921620 +93.915367 + 2x 1.008665 - 235.854317 . e in mass, am a m - m = 236 052589 - 235.854317 = 0.198272 u. un Energy released, E= 0.198272x931.494 mer = 184. 7 mev € 185 MeV (A)
