Binding energy per nucleon as a function of mass number for stable nuclei.
Binding energy per nucleon as a function of mass number for stable nuclei.
The graph shows the average binding energy per nucleon, \(E_b/A\), in \(\text{MeV/nucleon}\), as a function of mass number \(A\) for stable nuclei. A heavy nucleus with mass number \(A = 220\) undergoes fission into two identical daughter nuclei, each with mass number \(A = 110\). Based on the graph, what is the total energy released during this fission event?
