Q.
What is the total energy emitted for given fission reaction 01n+92235U⟶92236U⟶4098Zr+52136Te+201nThe daughter nuclei are unstable therefore they decay into stable end products M 4298o and X 54136e by successive emission of β-particles. Let mass of 01n=1.0087 amu, mass of 92235U=236.0526 amu, mass of 54136Xe=135.9170 amu, mass of M 4298o = 97.9054

01n+92235U⟶4298Mo+54136Xe+201n(1.0087+235.0439)=(97.9054+135.917+2.0174)Δm=0.2128∴ Total energy released during a fission reaction=0.2128×931MeV=198MeV
