Radium having mass number 200 and binding energy per nucleon 5.6 MeV , splits into two fragments Cadmium of mass number 112 and Hassium of mass number 108. If the binding energy per nucleon for Cadmium and Hassium is approximately 8.0 MeV , then the energy Q released per fission will be:
- A 475 MeV
- B 598 MeV
- C 640 MeV
- D 176 MeV
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 640 MeV
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The total binding energy of the parent nucleus (Radium) is given by the product of its mass number and its binding energy per nucleon. Total binding energy of Radium = \(200 \times 5.6 \text{ MeV} = 1120 \text{ MeV}\). The total binding energy of the daughter nuclei (Cadmium and…
