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...
The neutron-induced fission of U-235 produces Ba-140 and Kr-93, along with 3 neutrons. Use the following atomic masses: U-325: 235.04392 amu neutron: 1.00866 amu Ba-140: 139.910581 amu Kr-93: 92.931130 amu If the US needs 1.42 x 1016 kJ of electrical energy every year (for 2018 the value was 1.44 x 1016 kJ), how many kg of U-235 would have to undergo fission to supply this energy? (You can assume 100% efficiency in the conversion of energy from the fission reaction...
A Uranium-235 atom undergoes fission in the following net reaction (induced fission involves an intermediate step as U-236 which we will ignore): U-235 --> X + Y + 2n U-235 is the 'parent', X and Y are 'daughters' (= fission products), n = free neutron. 1 u = atomic mass unit = 1.66 x 10-27 kg mn = mass of a neutron = 1.008665 u mp = mass of a proton = 1.007825 u 1 eV = 1.602 x 10-19...

oart A and B please ission Reactions In a nuclear fission reaction a heavy nucleus divides to form smaller nuclei and one or more neutrons. Many nuclei can undergo fission, but the fission reactions of uranium-235 and plutonium-239 are the principal ones that generate energy in nuclear power plants.
