Question
A heavy nucleus having mass number 200 gets disintegrated into two small fragments of mass number 80 and 120. If binding energy per nucleon for parent atom is 6.5 M eV and for daughter nuclei is 7 M eV and 8 M eV respectively, then the energy released in each decay will be :
Options
A.200 M eV
B.- 200 M eV
C.220 M eV
D.180 M eV
Solution
Energy released = [(80 × 7) + (120 × 8)] − [200 × 6.5]
= 220 MeV Ans.
= 220 MeV Ans.
