What is the energy released in the fission reaction 01n + 92235U ? 53139I + 3995Y + 2 01n? (The atomic mass of 139I is 138.926103 u and that of 90Y is 94.912821 u). Answer in MeV
When a neutron collides with a uranium -235 nucleus it can induce a variety of fission reactions. one such reaction is 235/92 U + 1/0n. 140/54 Xe + 94/38 Sr + 2 1/0 n The following mass values are known 140/54 Xe: 139.921620u. 94/38 Sr : 93.915367u. 235/92U:235.043924u. 1/0n: 1.08665 u. How much energy is released in this reaction?
Consider a fission reaction where a Uranium-235 nucleus absorbs a neutron and then splits to Strontium, Xenon, and some neutrons. If the strontium nucleus has a mass number of 89 and the Xenon nucleus has a mass number of 144, how much energy is released in a single reaction? Use the attached table for the atomic masses of the nuclei. Give your answer in MeV and with 4 significant figures. (Hint: Balance the reaction first). Isotope Masses for Fission A...

When 235U fissions, the fission products are not always the same and exactly two neutrons are not always released. An example of one fission reaction is You may want to use the following table of atomic masses: Table of masses 141Ba 140.9144 u 144Ba 143.9229 u 139Te 138.9347 u 141Cs 140.9196 u 90Kr 89.91952 u 91Kr 90.92344 u 92Kr 91.92615 u 94Zr 93.90632 u 93Rb 92.92157 u 235U 235.0439 u p 1.00728 u n 1.00867 u 1) What is the...
Burning 20 tons of coal provides about 5. 1011 J, which is approximately the annual energy requirement of an average person in the United States. If this amount of energy was provided by the electricity generated by the fission of uranium-235 in a nuclear reactor, instead, what mass of natural uranium would be required? About 0.7% of natural uranium is uranium-235 (almost all the rest is uranium-238, which does not fission like U-235 does). Assume that the fission of each...

4. What sort of decay would you predict for l-130? (alpha, beta, positron) 5. Calculate the quantity of energy released neutron into barium-142 and krypton- culate the quantity of energy released when one atom of uranium-235 is split by the impact of a into barium-142 and krypton-92 releasing one additional neutron. Then calculate the antity of energy released when one gram of uranium-235 undergoes fission in the same way. 23U + In Ba + % Kr + 2n Atomic masses:...
