Two lighter nuclei combine to form a comparatively heavier nucleus by the relation given below :

12X+12X=24Y

The binding energies per nucleon for 21X and 24Y are 1.1MeV and 7.6MeV respectively. The energy released in this process is _______________ MeV.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Energy released = Change in B.E.

(7.6 × 4) − [4 × 1.1] = 26 MeV
