Homework Statement
1_0_n + 235_92_U 140_54_Xe + 94_38_Sr + 2 1_0_n
Using the above reaction, determine the amount of energy.
Homework Equations
mi = 235.043925u + 1.008665u + 236.05259u
mf = 140.914406u + 93.915356U + 2(1.008665u) = 236.847092Uu
delta m = 0.794502
E = deltam(c^2) = (0.794505u)(931.5MeV/c^2/u)c^2 = 740.078613
The Attempt at a Solution
See above in part . My answer is incorrect. I double checked my work, and I got the same answer. Can anybody figure out what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
