When a neutron (n) collides with a uranium-235 nucleus it can induce a variety of fission reactions. One such reaction is U + n →
Xe +
Sr + 2n. How much energy is released in this reaction, given the following mass values:
Xe: 139.921620 u
Sr : 93.915367 u
U: 235.043924 u
N: 1.008665 u
(1 u = 931.494 MeV/c2)
A) 185 MeV
B) 202 MeV
C) 32.6 MeV
D) 65.7 MeV
E) 98.6 MeV
