How Is Energy Calculated in a Nuclear Fission Reaction?

[danok]

1. What is the energy released in the fission reaction ¹₀n + ²³⁵₉₂U --> ¹⁴¹₅₆Ba + ⁹²₃₆Kr + 3¹₀n?



2. I am pretty sure this has to do with binding energies, but other than that I'm completely lost.

Please help. Thank you so much.

You need to calculate the rest mass energies of the reactants and the products and find the difference.
