In a fission reaction `._92^236 U rarr ^117 X + ^117Y + n + n`, the binding energy per nucleon of `X` and `Y` is `8.5 MeV` whereas of `.^236 U` is `7.6 MeV`. The total energy liberated will be about.

A

2000 MeV

B

200 MeV

C

2 MeV

D

200 ke V

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Binding energy
`=117 xx 8.5 + 117 xx 8.5 - 236 xx 7.6`
`=234 xx 8.5 - 236 xx 7.6`
`= 1989 - 1793.6 = 2000 MeV`
Thus , in per fission of Uranium nearly 200 MeV energy is liberated
