BE per nucleon = BE * nucleon no.Help needed with Nov09 (41) q8cii
according to law of conservation of energy total left hand side = total right hand side
as Q is the energy released not the energy holding the nucleons in a nucleus it will be subtracted from the equation
(2 × 1.12) + 3x = 28.28 –17.7
x= 2.78 Mev
