13.24 If a neutron is removed from , the corresponding reaction can be written as:
+
The separation energies are
For : Separation energy = 8.363007 MeV
For : Separation energy = 13.059 MeV
It is given that
m( = 39.962591 u
m( = 40.962278 u
m( = 1.008665 u
The mass defect of the reaction is given as:
Δm = m ( m( m(
= 39.962591 + 1.008665 - 40.962278
= 8.978 u
=8.363007 MeV
For , the neutron removal reaction can be written as
+

The reaction is X²? → Y¹²? + Z¹²?
Binding energies per nucleon are: X=7.6 MeV, Y=8.5 MeV, Z=8.5 MeV.
Gain in binding energy (Q) = (Binding energy of products) - (Binding energy of reactants)
Q = (120 × 8.5 + 120 × 8.5) - (240 × 7.6) MeV
Q = (2 × 120 × 8.5) - (240 × 7.6) MeV = 2040 - 1824 = 216 MeV.
