Q28.A nucleus with mass number 242 and binding energy per nucleon as 7. 6 MeV breaks into two fragment each with mass number 121. If each fragment nucleus has binding energy per nucleon as 8. 1 MeV, the total gain in binding energy is _______ MeV.

What This Question Tests

This question requires calculating the total binding energy before and after a nuclear reaction to determine the energy released or gained, which is a common application of binding energy concepts.

Concepts Tested

Binding energy per nucleonTotal binding energyEnergy released in nuclear reactions

Formulas Used

Total Binding Energy = Binding Energy per Nucleon * Mass Number
