Suppose, we think of fission of a `""(26)^(56)Fe` nucleus into two equal fragments, `""_(13)^(28)Al` . Is the fission energetically possible? Argue by working out Q of the process. Given m `(""_(26)^(56)Fe ) = 55.93494 u and m (""_(13)^(28)Al ) = 27.98191 u.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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