13.16 Suppose, we think of fission of a ${}_{26}{}^{56}\mathit{F}\mathit{e}$ nucleus into two equal fragments, ${}_{13}{}^{28}\mathit{A}\mathit{l}$ . Is the fission energetically possible? Argue by working out Q of the process. Given

m ( ${}_{26}{}^{56}\mathit{F}\mathit{e})$ = 55.93494 u and m ( ${}_{13}{}^{28}\mathit{A}\mathit{l})$ = 27.98191 u.
