Detailed Solution

Mass of one atom of U235

=235.121420 amu

Mass of one neutron = 1.008665 amu

Sum of the masses of U235 and neutron

= 236.130085 = 236.130 amu U236

Mass of one atom of 

= 236.123050 amu

= 236.123 amu

Increase in mass when one neutron is removed from 

U236 = 236.136 - 236.123

 = 0.007 amu

  Energy required to remove one neutron

= 0.007 x 931 MeV

= 6.517 x MeV =6.5 MeV
