AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the total energy liberated during the fission reaction of Uranium-236 into nuclei X and Y, along with the release of neutrons. The energy released can be calculated using the binding energy per nucleon of the reactants and products. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Data:** - Binding energy per nucleon of Uranium-236 (\( ^{236}U \)): \( 7.6 \, \text{MeV} \) - Binding energy per nucleon of nuclei \( X \) and \( Y \): \( 8.5 \, \text{MeV} \) - Mass number of Uranium-236: \( 236 \) ...
