Consider the following: n + 235 U → 88 K r + 144 B a + 4 n (a) Calculate the energy (in MeV) released in the neutron-induced fission reaction above, given m( 88 K r ) = 87.914447 u and m( 144 B a ) = 143.922941 u. (Assume 1 u = 931.5 MeV/ c 2 .) (b) Confirm that the total number of nucleons and total charge are conserved in this reaction.
