Suppose, we think of fission of a nucleus into two equal fragments, . Is the fission energetically possible? Argue by working out Q of the process. Given , m = 55.93494u and m = 27.98191u.
Solution:
The fission of Fe-56 into two fragments of with energy released Q can be written as → + + Q Q = = [55.93494 – 2 × 27.98191] × 931.5 MeV = – 0.02888 × 931.5 = – 26.90 MeV As the Q-value is negative, the fission is not possible energetically.
