Consider the following.
n +235U 96Sr +138Xe +2 n
(a)
Calculate the energy (in MeV) released in the neutron-induced fission reaction above, given m(96Sr)=95.921681 u and m(138Xe)=137.913989 u.(Assume 1 u =931.5 MeV/c2.)
MeV
(b)
Confirm that the total number of nucleons and total charge are conserved in this reaction. (The electron family number is abreviated "efn".)
Ai = Af= efni = efnf=
