Suppose, we think of fission of a `._26Fe^(56)` nucleus into two equal fragments `._13Al^(28)`. Is the fission energetically possible? Argue by working out Q of the process. Given `m(._26Fe^(56))=55.93494u, m(._13Al^(28))=27.98191 u.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Q = m(""_(26)^(56) Fe) - 2m (""_(13)^(28)Al) = 26.90 MeV`, not possible.
