Question: Suppose two 5 6 Fe ( nuclear mass 5 5 . 8 5 u ) nuclei are combined to form 1 1 2 Cd (

Suppose two 56Fe(nuclear mass 55.85 u) nuclei are combined to form 112Cd (nuclear mass 112.4 u). Is energy added to make this process occur or is energy released by this process? How much? Recall that 1 amu = u=931.494c2MeV.
Group of answer choices
326 MeV must be added
652 MeV must be added
53000 MeV is released
652 MeV is released
326 MeV is released
