Compute the energy released in the fission reaction n + 239Pu → 137Xe + 100Zr + 3n
Adi S.
Complete the following nuclear fission reaction of thorium-232 and calculate the energy released in the reaction: $232 \mathrm{Th}+\mathrm{n} \rightarrow 99 \mathrm{Kr}+124 \mathrm{Xe}+$ ${ }^{232} \mathrm{Th}+\mathrm{n} \rightarrow{ }^{99} \mathrm{Kr}+{ }^{124} \mathrm{Xe}+_{-} ?$ ? The atomic masses are $020051 \mathrm{u}^{232} \mathrm{Th}=232.038051 \mathrm{u}$. ${ }^{99} \mathrm{Kr}=98.957606 \mathrm{u}$, and $124 \mathrm{Xe}=123.905894 \mathrm{u}^{124} \mathrm{Xe}=123.905894 \mathrm{u} .$
Calculate the energy released in the fission reaction $$ { }^{235} \mathrm{U}+\mathrm{n} \rightarrow{ }^{141} \mathrm{Cs}+{ }^{93} \mathrm{Rb}+2 \mathrm{n} $$ Here are some atomic and particle masses. $\begin{array}{cccc}{ }^{235} \mathrm{U} & 235.04392 \mathrm{u} & { }^{93} \mathrm{Rb} & 92.92157 \mathrm{u} \\ { }^{141} \mathrm{Cs} & 140.91963 \mathrm{u} & \mathrm{n} & 1.00866 \mathrm{u}\end{array}$
