Correct answer: 0

The formula to calculate the energy released in the given process can be written as

$Q = B{E}_{\text{Product}} - B{E}_{\text{Reactant}} . . . \left(1\right)$

From equation (1), it follows that

$\begin{cases}Q & = & 2 ( 118 ) ( 8 . 6 ) - 236 ( 7 . 6 ) MeV \\ & = & 236MeV\end{cases}$
