Can someone help me on this problem? Here's my work :)
Calculate the energy released in the fission reaction:
n + 235/92U-> Sr-88 + Xe-136 + 12n
Use appendix D, assume the initial KE of the neutron is very small
It can be seen that when the compound nucleus splits, it breaks into fission fragments, Strontium-88, Xenon-136, and some neutrons. Both fission products then decay by multiple emissions as a result of the high neutron-to-proton ratio possessed by these nuclides.
1/0 n + 235/92U ->236/92 U -> 88 / 38 Sr + 136/54Xe + 12/0n
ΔBE = BEproducts – BEreactamts
ΔBE = BEproducts – BEreactamts
ΔBE = (BESr-88 + BEXe-136 ) – (BEU-235)
ΔBE = (BESr-88 + BEXe-136 ) – (BEU-235)
ΔBE = (783.2MeV + 1156MeV ) – (1786 MeV)
= 153.2 MeV
