  • A
    $E({}_{92}^{236}U) > E({}_{53}^{137}I) + E({}_{39}^{97}Y) + 2E(n)$
  • B
    $E({}_{92}^{236}U) < E({}_{53}^{137}I) + E({}_{39}^{97}Y) + 2E(n)$
  • C
    $E({}_{92}^{236}U) < E({}_{56}^{140}Ba) + E({}_{36}^{94}Kr) + 2E(n)$

Consider the fission of $_{92}^{238} U$ by fast neutrons. In one fission event,no neutrons are emitted and the final end products,after the beta decay of the primary fragments,are $_{58}^{140} Ce$ and $_{44}^{99} Ru$. Calculate the $Q$-value for this fission process. The relevant atomic and particle masses are:
$m(_{92}^{238} U) = 238.05079 \; u$
$m(_{58}^{140} Ce) = 139.90543 \; u$
$m(_{44}^{99} Ru) = 98.90594 \; u$
$m(_{0}^{1} n) = 1.008665 \; u$
