Question
If a graph of Binding energy (B/A) per nucleon versus mass number (A) looks like as shown in figure. Then using the curve choose CORRECT option(s).


Options
A.Fusion of two nuclei with mass numbers 30 and 45 will have Q value 99 MeV
B.Fission of nuclei with mass number 80 into two nuclei of equal mass number will have Q value 256 MeV
C.Fission of nuclei with mass number 150 into two nuclei of equal mass number will release energy
D.Fission of nuclei with mass number 80 into two nuclei of equal mass number will release energy
Solution
Q value for fusion = (B/A)75 × 75 - [(B/A)30 × 30 + (B/A)45 × 45] = 99 MeV.
