Question:

One possible fission reaction for 235U is 235U + n → 141Cs + 93Rb + ?n, where "?n" represents one or more neutrons.
(a) How many neutrons?
(b) From the graph in Fig. 29.2, you can read the approximate binding energies per nucleon for the three nuclides involved. Use that information to estimate the total energy released by this fission reaction.
(c) Do a precise calculation of the energy released.
(d) What fraction of the rest energy of the 235U nucleus is released by this reaction?
