JEE Main 2024 Physics question
In a nuclear fission process, a high mass nuclide (A = 236) with binding energy 7.6 MeV/Nucleon dissociated into middle mass nuclides (A = 118), having binding energy of 8.6 MeV/Nucleon. The energy released in the process would be MeV.
Answer: 236
Solution
A → 2B: ΔE = 2 × 118 × 8.6 − 236 × 7.6 = 236 MeV.
