Consider the nuclear fission
`Ne^(20) rarr 2He and C^(12)` are, respectively 8.30 MeV, 7.07 MeV and 7.86 MeV, identify the correct statement

A

Energy of 11.9 MeV has to be supplied

B

8.3 MeV energy will be released

C

Energy of 9.72 MeV will be supplied

D

Energy of 3.6 will be released

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Amount of energy released
`DeltaE_(out) = 2 xx (" Binding Energy of "He^(4)) + ( " Binding energy of "C^(12))- ("Binding energy of "Ne^(20)) `
` :. DeltaE_("out") = (2xx4xx7.07) + (12 xx 7.86) - (20 xx 8.03) MeV `
` = - 9.72`
So , `9.72 ` MeV of energy will be supplied .
