Q.

Assume that the nuclear binding energy per nucleon (B/A) versus mass number (A) is as shown in the figure. Consider a nucleus of A=110. Fission of this nucleus results into 2 fragmentations.

Detailed Solution

To release energy in a nuclear process, total  binding energy per nucleon should increase.

Total initial binding energy =6×110 Mev =660 Mev

In 1,total final binding energy =255×7.5 Mev=825 Mev In 2 , total final binding energy =(60×7+50×8) Mev=820 Mev
